江沙 ~ 水灾的日子

谈起老家水灾的日子可是有趣又难忘。
水灾对我们来说已经成了习惯,
一年一次如果没有水灾才觉得奇怪!
每年一到年尾大人都为水灾而烦,
而小孩子就可开心啦!不用上学又可以玩水。

我们更为咖啡店烦死。
一是烦要忙着咖啡店的生意,
很奇怪的每当水灾来临之前咖啡店的生意特别好,
生意好到怕!大家都忙到没有时间停下来吃饭。
咖啡店都爆满,甚至有顾客吃了东西没给钱就跑了。

二是要忙着收拾东西,尤其是店后砍好的木材,
要绑好再搬到高的地方,又要将杂货搬上楼。大家都忙到乱!
还记得当时幸亏好多邻居和同学们都来帮忙。

还记得有一年水灾的水位高到大约十多尺,
还差几尺就到楼上,还得请大罗里来搬走大冰箱和桌椅,
搬到海南会馆暂时寄放,等到水退了才搬回店。
那个时候大家都呆在楼上大约一个星期,
连煮饭都成问题。爸爸妈妈还得叫山板船(sampan)
载他们去买东西,还得从楼上窗口爬出去上山板船。

上厕所可成了一个很大的问题,恶梦的开始!哈哈!
在七十年代并没有抽水马桶,还是使用着古老的方式,
每个晚上有人定时来换粪桶。。。
想起来真的好恶心!

试想当时的店铺只有楼下才有厕所,
而楼下的厕所已经被水淹盖了,怎么办?
回想起我们怎样处理当时的情形太好笑了,
自己知道就好啦!

根据我所知1967年江沙发生了一场大水灾,
那时候我们的咖啡店还在河边街,
真难想像当时咖啡店被水淹盖的情形。
当时我才三岁,还住在Kampong Basong,
还不知道发生什么事?!
