In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1530 Paying Attention to the Way You Hold Chopsticks (Part 1)

At the Nohara family's lunch break, everyone was watching TV while eating. Misae looked at the guy on TV and shook her head, saying, "This guy, his elbows are resting on the table, how rude! I'm a little disappointed. If he doesn't have good manners, even if he's handsome, he'll still make me lose my appetite."

As she spoke, Misae turned off the TV. Turning to Shin-chan, who was still eating, she was about to urge him to finish when her lips twitched: "Shin-chan! Why do you eat so awfully?!"

Misae shouted in dissatisfaction as she watched Shin-chan lean his head on the table and put food into his mouth.

"Because I still want to sleep," Shin-chan said casually.

"You should eat with your head up and chest out!" Misae corrected Shin-chan, looking at him with displeasure.

Xiaoxin sat up straight with a sigh and shook his head, saying, "Even if I stand up straight, my height won't change."

"That's strange, Shin-chan, the way you're holding your chopsticks seems odd." Misae frowned again as she looked at Shin-chan's chopsticks. Mingxu glanced at him and saw that Shin-chan was holding his chopsticks like a pen.

"You see, you need to hold the chopsticks like this to move them around easily," Misae said, picking up the chopsticks and demonstrating to Shin-chan.

"I have some too," Shin-chan said, shaking his head as he held up his chopsticks.

"It's different, isn't it? Look at me carefully!" Misae said, dissatisfied, seeing that Shin-chan showed no intention of making any changes.

Shin-chan shook his head: "I don't care about those little things. I can still eat like this." As he spoke, Shin-chan picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth.

Seeing Shin-chan's nonchalant attitude, Misae frowned, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Shin-chan seriously: "Shin-chan! Listen up! If you don't learn these habits when you're a child, it won't be so easy to change them when you grow up!"

Xiao Xinyan raised an eyebrow and looked at Meiya: "So, Mom's stinginess is something she's been ingrained in since childhood, which is why she can't change it?"

“That’s right!” Misae said instinctively, but then realized what she meant and her eyes widened: “What! No way!”

After dealing with Shin-chan, Misae started teaching him how to use chopsticks.

"Like this, like this." After correcting his chopstick technique, Shin-chan frowned, "It feels a bit strange." He tried to pick up food, but this time it wasn't as easy and comfortable as before.

“That’s normal. It’s hard to change old habits overnight. You just have to stick to them,” Mingxu said, shrugging.

Misae smiled at Shin-chan and pointed to Shiro, who was looking this way in the yard, saying, "Look, Shiro is looking at you too."

"Wang~"

"What's the point of looking at it if you don't eat with chopsticks?" Shin-chan shook his head in dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai puffed up its cheeks, looked around the yard, picked up two twigs, and tried to use them. However, its claws were indeed a bit too small, and it couldn't use them well. Soon, the twigs fell off its claws.

Mingxu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xiaobai's expression. Goodness, Xiaobai, you won't do anything related to dogs at all.

Shin-chan's eyes lit up: "Those foreigners all use knives, forks, and spoons to eat!"

“But we are Chinese! We eat with chopsticks. I heard that it’s because we learned to hold chopsticks properly when we were little that we are so skillful!” Misae said with a smile to Shin-chan.

"I am really too clumsy," Xiao Xinyan said without hesitation, beginning to belittle himself.

"Come on, are you Ken? That clumsy feeling is different. Chopsticks are so convenient. You can easily cut food with them even without a knife, and you can pick up all kinds of food." As Misae was saying this, Shin-chan suddenly ran into the kitchen.

Looking at Shin-chan with a puzzled expression, Misae called out, "Shin-chan, where are you going? Hmm?"

Mingxu watched as Xiaoxin ran back from the kitchen with a fork and said in a serious tone, "Starting today, I'm going to be a foreigner! I'm going to eat with a fork! From now on, please call me George!" As he spoke, Xiaoxin even imitated the tone of a foreigner.

Watching Shin-chan eat with a fork, Misae was speechless. Shin-chan became even more smug: "Eating with a fork is so convenient~ It'll be best to eat grilled saury after I'm full~"

As Xiaoxin spoke, he picked up his bowl and prepared to leave.

Mingxu shook his head: "Xiaoxin, there are etiquette rules for using a fork too~ How do you think foreigners eat with knives and forks?"

Upon hearing Mingxu's words, Xiaoxin froze. Before Mingxu could continue, she hurriedly put the bowl down in the sink, grabbed the leash, and ran outside, saying, "Alright, I'm taking Xiaobai for a walk!"

"I only want to take Shiro for a walk when it's in my best interest." Misae looked at Shin-chan's retreating figure with a hint of helplessness.

Mingxu shrugged and looked at Misae: "If all else fails, we can prepare some tableware that Shin-chan can't refuse."

"The cutlery is irresistible...!" Misae suddenly realized, her eyes lit up, and she nodded at Mingxu: "I understand!" So, Misae went out too.

Mingxu shrugged, looked at Xiaokui who was still fast asleep, and quietly sat down to read a book.

......

Shin-chan was taking Shiro for a walk outside, complaining, "It's such a headache. Shiro is so much better. He doesn't get nagged by his mom every day, and he doesn't have to do any chores. I'm so envious. I think I should be reborn as a dog in my next life."

Hearing Shin-chan's words, Shiro couldn't help but recall the scene of Shin-chan being a dog. His lips twitched, and he decided to forget about it.

After walking for a while, Xiaobai saw a telephone pole, went over and started to pee.

Looking at Shiro, Shin-chan was a little envious: "Shiro, you're so lucky, you can pee anywhere... Oh right! I'm coming too!" Shin-chan said, and went over to pee next to the pole.

...Shin-chan looked at Shiro speechlessly, then sped up. Shin-chan had just pulled down a little bit of his pants when Shiro pulled him away.

"Ah! Don't do that! You've hooked my hand!" Shin-chan was dragged along by Shiro until they reached the park, where Shiro finally stopped.

After Shin-chan finished using the restroom in the park, he looked at Shiro with dissatisfaction before taking Shiro home.

"I'm back~ Mambo~"

Upon hearing Shin-chan's voice, Misae immediately grabbed the chopsticks she had just bought and went to find Shin-chan, ready to start lecturing him.

"Shin-chan, you need to get back right away..." But before she could finish speaking, she saw Shin-chan already washing his hands, which surprised her.

"Hmph, don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a married man!" Shin-chan said smugly.

Mingxu leaned against the door: "You mean someone with OCD, right?"

"You could say that," Shin-chan said casually.

"Shin-chan, and more importantly, look! I specially bought you a new pair of chopsticks today!" Misae said, taking out the chopsticks, but temporarily covering up some markings.

"Ah~ I can just use a fork," Xiaoxin said, shaking her head again. Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin, who was startled. Right, Xiaoxu seemed to have said that there are etiquette rules for using forks too.

Misae looked at Shin-chan with a smile: "Really? What a pity these chopsticks are so cool, look~"

"Ah! It's Action Kamen! Haha~ Action Kamen's chopsticks~" Shin-chan was overjoyed and started dancing around with the chopsticks in his hand.

'Tsk tsk, so naive. Kids are so easy to fool, that's what kids are all about.' Misae, seeing Shin's excitement, was even more pleased with Mingxu's words. Looking at Shin, Misae said again, 'Shin, can I borrow your chopsticks? See, this is how you should hold them. Shin-chan, do you want to learn the correct way to hold chopsticks with me? Wahaha~'

Seeing Misae laughing, Shin-chan immediately shook his head.
