小小说 《罚单》

打印 被阅读次数

西昂是长着中国人的脸来自孟加拉的新移民。来到纽约半年后,他花了四百美金买了一部二手车,又从孟加拉人的杂货店淘到两美金的新车香水装在车上,让旧车焕发青春有了新车的气息。他本想有了车,就能把妹,约在同一个组装线上干活的金发女,到郊外来点浪漫,没料到别人嫌弃车的档次太低,没上贼车。好在他很快找到了车的其他用途,为他每月省下不少开支。

每个星期,他收集纽约大大小小的杂货店的打折广告,画出最佳线路图,免费停车方案,然后开着香味十足的小车跑上一趟,能占不小的便宜。

有一个咖啡店的老板已经盯上西昂几次了,对这位“中国老乡”只停车不买咖啡的行为极为不满,打算给他一个教训。

这天,西昂又把他的车停在咖啡店的客户停车位上,环顾四周,没人留意他,便去了别的店买打折货。一会儿功夫他就忙完了购物,一边往停车位走,一边算计又省下二十美金,心中十分欢喜。还没走到车前,他看到了他最不愿意看到的东西 – 一张黄色的停车罚单压在挡风玻璃上,它在风中张牙舞爪地飞着跳着乐着。

西昂沉住气,没有急急地去拿罚单,而是若无其事地走进咖啡店,买了一杯大号的咖啡,并带 “打波打波”,还特意要了收据,老板客客气气地为他服务,忍不住窃窃地笑。

西昂这才回到自己的车前,“惊讶”地发现了罚单!他拿着罚单进到店里,不满意地问老板这是怎么回事,需要一个解释,老板说:“我叫警察之前,可是里里外外的喊过是谁的车!”

西昂知道这次是栽了,四十美金,半个月的饭钱!自己这个假中国人碰上了真中国人,玩不过,只好认输。他看了一眼老板的滑稽的笑脸,低头往外走。

就在这时,坐在角落了的一个中年男人叫住他,勾着手指让他过去。西昂来到他边上,那男人递给他一张律师名片,对他说:“他叫警察的时候,我看见你去了洗手间!”
