高悬友谊商店几个大字的楼房前面,关有寿打量了一下自己身上衣服,对着孩子们的笑容,为自己打气鼓起勇气.

依葫芦画瓢似的,他拿出两张侨汇券往门口类似“保安”男同志前面摇了摇,见对方没阻止牵着俩孩子大摇大摆的进入.

Man leans on clothes and horse leans on saddle.

他琢磨着是不是该把手上的布票全给花了,要不回去的时候东西先藏在好兄弟马振中家里?

再来一趟省城可是不容易.寻常的票据还能在本省县城用用,可这花花绿绿的侨汇券只此独一家.

关平安见他双眼瞄向柜子旁边那个木头人身上的花罩衣,暗道不好!她要穿回去,她奶奶会剥了她的皮!

"Dad, oil!"

Guan Youshou shook his head decisively.

油?隔壁生产队有油坊,多花两个钱还是能买得到.也就是他娘恨不得一分钱掰成两半.

"Comrade..."

关平安使劲一拉她爹,差点让关有寿一个踉跄摔倒,她不好意思地笑了笑,“爹,布,要布,我娘手巧.”

Of course, your daughter is more skillful and can embroider bamboo for you!

“安安,这花罩衣只有这有,独一份,回头穿上去你姥姥家,可洋气了.”

关平安无语地翻了小白眼,“我不喜欢这花.买那个蓝色的,咱们一家四口都能用,娘说的.”

顺着她的小手指,关有寿一瞧,差点没被闺女的眼光给吓坏.至于啥‘娘说的’,被他下意识的忽略.

他媳妇是一定会说:啥?你一个小姑娘家家的,干啥穿啥蓝色,黑不溜秋的!大红大绿多喜庆!

他果断决定不听闺女的.刚问了价格,这里面不愧是高档店,布料比外面高档价格还实惠不少.

咔叽布3毛8一尺,细棉布4毛5一尺,就是那高档料子灯芯绒贵了很多,居然要7毛8.

There is also a reason why it is expensive.

他刚才摸了一下,这布料老厚老厚的,能抵得上普通料子两倍多厚度,等入冬给两个孩子做裤子也不怕冷更不怕磨破.

关有寿直接让服务员先替他裁了适合一对儿女身量的一块粉色碎花,一块浅蓝格子的细棉布.

He also pulled a wide four-foot wide enough for his wife to make a light-colored floral piece of shirt. If he had too many, he would probably make a small coat for his daughter, and then he would ask for a piece of big red and military green corduroy fabric that was expensive.

添置好了媳妇孩子的,他掏出剩下的侨汇券,抽了几张食品票后,索性全购买了深蓝色的咔叽布料.

这一下子算是差不多花光昨晚刚到手的侨汇券,关有寿忍痛忽视一直想要的自行车,带着俩孩子去往副食品柜台.

"Tell me what I want to eat."

不止关平安心疼她爹不易,关天佑也是看着他爹这么大手大脚的买了老多布料有些束手无策.

此刻闻言,他连忙摇头,可眼神却一直依依不舍地四处张望,对他来说这一个崭新的世界.

看着孩子无措的神情,关有寿深感自己粗心.孩子还是太小,从山沟沟到省城,从废品站到琳琅满目的商店.

哪怕自己想给孩子们世上最好的一切,可让他们一下子受到太大冲突,其实并不是好现象.

他沉吟片刻,蹲下笑眯眯地看着俩孩子,“爹吃过那种长棍面包,还吃过巧克力,想不想尝尝味?”

“Is it expensive?”

"Are you enough tickets?"

关有寿拍了拍自己胸口,“还有一点散票,等咱们回家就浪费了.”

关天佑看了看妹妹,咬了咬嘴唇,“买吧!爹买少点,尝尝味就行.”

关有寿笑了笑,摸了摸俩孩子脑袋,站起身再向服务员要了两条长棍面包,又称了半斤巧克力.

这一下子,终于花光了所有还没捂暖的侨汇券.

见他票已经花光,倒是让兄妹俩人没了心里负担,开始有了心情逛一逛这“神圣”的友谊商店.

关平安是见到什么东西都想要,看到哪哪都是家里紧缺的,极力控制着自己蠢蠢欲动的念力.

——这要是柜台上的东西会“唆,唆,唆”的不见了?

She subconsciously shuddered.

一直出了友谊商店,她才松了口气.回头望了一眼大门口,她暗自庆幸自己战胜了贪念.

“闺女,看啥呢?”关有寿随着她的视线往那一瞧,笑了笑,安慰道,“爹接着带你们去百货商场,那里也很大.”

关平安哀怨地瞟了眼他:能不能别老是诱惑她?她真怕哪天自己一时控制不住来个大扫荡呀.

百货商场的高音广播一直在循环播放:“……二楼纺织品区有瑕疵品,二楼纺织品区有瑕疵品……”

三三两两结伴的人往大门涌去,关平安见状吓得连忙一手拽进她哥小手,一手拽住他爹衣角.

Is this money or tickets?

"By the way, I don't have a ticket!"

关天佑立即指了指大堂内的角落,“爹,跟上次一样,我和妹妹在那边等你.你一个人上楼.”

关平安见她爹有些犹豫,真想大声呐喊:爹呀,你买了老多东西回去,会被我爷奶给揍死的!

她此刻还不知她爹真要带东西回去岂止是被揍这么简单,她爹已经是胆儿肥的打算空手而归.

——她爷爷寄托在她老子身上的300块,可是一点也没影!

关有寿拎着一袋子东西,把一对儿女带到了偏角处,让他们坐在布料上面,又拜托不远处的柜台服务员帮忙看着点.

可人家服务员能吊你这个一看就是乡下人的汉子?只见对方心不在蔫的,若有若无的微微点了点头.

关平安见状不满的蹙了蹙眉,朝担忧不已的爹挥了挥小手.与其当心他们兄妹俩人,还不如当心他们屁股底下的布料.

Does her mother know that she has such an uneasy father?

等关有寿快步离开,关天佑在她小脑袋边附耳嘀咕,“妹妹,爹说了晚上带咱们去看电影.”

Guan Ping'an blinked, "What else did Dad say?"

“还说带咱们下馆子.”关天佑说着停下来想了想,“爹还说了,晚点再回姨奶奶家住一宿,明天一早就乘车回去,人会少点.”

"What should I do if I didn't say anything to bring back?"

Guan Tianyou looked at the pedestrians walking in front of him and lowered his voice, "Our father said he had a way to hide the things first and then go home."

Guan Ping'an really couldn't think of where her father could hide? Could it be that he had a small gourd just like himself? It's impossible. If so, he wouldn't have let the brother and sister drink wild vegetable porridge long ago.

Alas... it's really a brain-consuming task!

"Sister, do you miss your mother? I miss you so much. It would be great if my mother came here too. She could eat noodles and meat with us.

There are so many dishes at noon, more than our family’s New Year. Unfortunately, my mother didn’t eat a bite. I originally wanted to eat what I put in my pocket and bring it to my mother, but my father said it would make people laugh at me.”

Look, her father must not have a little gourd.

"Brother, I will definitely let you eat meat, and you can eat as much as you want."

"Hahaha... Sister, I will definitely let you eat white noodles in the future, and you can eat as much as you want."

“…”

Can you be more serious? She can really let the family eat meat!
