【The Best Humorous Fiction in China for 2017最佳幽默小說】Purchasing Cigarette 買菸

(Jennifer’s warning: If you don’t get the humor, you don’t know China.)

A young man went to a shop and bought a 20 yuan cigarette pack. He gave 50 yuan to the shop owner, and the owner gave him back 40 yuan.
The young man pretended that he didn’t notice this, and went away with the change.
The shop owner shouted at his back, “You forgot your cigarette!”
一位小夥子去買菸,買了包20的。
給了老闆50,找了小夥子40。小夥子裝做不知道,裝兜裡就走了。
沒走多遠賣菸的老闆喊:
「小夥子你的菸沒拿」!
The young man was moved to tears. He took out 10 yuan and said to the shop owner: “You gave me 10 yuan more.”
The shop owner was in turn moved to tears and said, “Give me back that pack. Let me change it.”
買菸的小夥子流下了感動的淚水,拿出十塊錢給老闆:
「你多找了我十塊錢」。
賣菸的老闆也留下了感動的淚水:
「小夥子,把菸拿來,我給你換一包。」
While enjoying the changed cigarette, which truly tasted like cigarette, the young man was again so moved that he said to the shop owner, “Give me back the 50 yuan I paid you before. Let me change it.”
The shop owner was again moved in turn and said, “Give me back the change I gave you. I’ll change it too.”
抽著賣菸的老闆新換的菸,那純正的味道不禁再次感動了買菸的小夥子,說道:
「老闆,把剛才那張50的拿來我給你換一張吧」!
賣菸的老闆接過那50的也再次感動:
「小夥子,把剛才那找你的錢給我,我也給你換了」。
Upon acceptance of the changed cash note, the young was again moved. He took out a cell phone from his pocket and said, “Here, this is yours. Let me give it back to you.”
And the shop owner was again moved to tears…
接過賣菸的老闆重新找的錢,買菸的小夥子也再次感動,從口袋裡拿出一部手機:
「老闆,手機還給你吧」。
賣菸的老闆熱淚盈眶……
