In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1502 A Matter of Male Dignity

Hiroshi came out, stood at the door, looked at them, and muttered, "Don't get your hopes up too high. It's only like this at the beginning."

"Ah..." The three of them suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yumi and the others looked at Hiroshi curiously: "What did the minister say today?"

"Oh, my wife brought me a lunchbox today too." Hiroshi shrugged and went into his office to eat lunch.

Yumi and Kawaguchi curiously leaned closer: "Wow~ a wife's bento." As they spoke, their gazes toward Hiroshi became somewhat ambiguous.

Upon hearing this, Hiroshi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, we're no longer newlyweds."

As they were talking, Hiroshi opened the outer packaging of the bento box and discovered that there was a note inside.

Yumi's eyes lit up immediately: "There's a letter! Is it a love letter?"

Kawaguchi chuckled and said, "In this day and age, writing letters instead of text messages is clearly a sign of a loving relationship!"

"Fool, that's not how it is." Hiroshi said with a smile, opening the letter to see what was inside.

"What did it say?" Yumi and the others curiously leaned closer, wanting to see what it said.

The letter read: "Please buy me 10kg of rice on your way home."

"..." The three of them twitched at the corners of their mouths. Misae-neechan was really something else.

"See? It wasn't a love letter after all." Hiroshi said this, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

"But the contents of the bento box must be quite interesting, right?" Yumi quickly added.

Kawaguchi chimed in, "That's right, Misae-nee must be a really good cook."

Hiroshi looked at the two of them. They had made quite a bit of progress recently; they were almost touching each other now.

He chuckled, "Silly boy, it's very ordinary, very ordinary." As he spoke, Hiroshi opened the bento box, saw the contents, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Right, it's very ordinary."

Inside were some fried meat cutlets and vegetables.

Looking at the contents of the lunchbox, Hiroshi smiled.

"Very good."

“That’s right.” The two looked on with a hint of envy. “In that case, Minister, let’s go out for dinner first.”

The two of them didn't bring any lunch boxes, so they had to go out to eat.

At the Nohara family's house, Misae breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Asahi reminded her that morning, otherwise she would have forgotten to put vegetables in her father's lunchbox. Hiroshi would have been very disappointed if he had only seen a plum bento.

At night, after Hiroshi finished get off work and walked out of Kasukabe Station, he found a convenience store and bought a 10kg bag of rice that Misae had mentioned.

"Okay, good. Let's buy some drinks while we're at it. You've been busy all day, you must be tired." Looking at the row of beers, Hiroshi picked one up, paid for it along with the rice, and then headed home carrying a bag of rice and a case of beer. Although the distance wasn't too long, carrying all that was still a bit tiring.

"Wow, this is heavy~ Oh dear, I'm back." Hiroshi called out as he pushed open the door and entered the house.

Misae and Mingxu came out.

"you are back."

"Dad, you are back."

"Oh dear, I'm sorry, it's heavy, isn't it?" Misae took the bag of rice from Hiroshi's hand, feeling embarrassed, and handed it to Akira. Akira took the rice into the kitchen and put it into the rice box.

"And..." Misae was about to say something when Shin-chan's voice came from behind her: "Mom, Johnny Depp is out!"

"Oh, really? They're here!" Misae ran over excitedly.

Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Misae's retreating figure, shook his head, picked up a beer and placed it in the living room. He then went inside to change his clothes before coming out with a glass, opening a bottle of beer, pouring it into the glass, and drinking.

"Alright, let's have a drink~" Hiroshi took a big gulp, his face full of satisfaction.

"Oh, why did you buy this extra today?" Misae asked, somewhat surprised, looking at the case of beer that Hiroshi had placed on the table.

"Huh? I bought it with my own allowance, so it should be fine, right?" Hiroshi looked at Misae with dissatisfaction, feeling like he had committed a crime by drinking a beer.

“But you just drank it yesterday, didn’t you? Your liver needs to rest.” Misae shook her head at Hiroshi and said, “How about just one bottle?” Saying that, she left one bottle on the table and took the rest away: “I’m not taking these away, I can’t give them to you.”

"Oh no, really..." Hiroshi said, hanging his head.

Shin-chan, sipping his juice, wondered, "Is the world really this cruel?"

"That's just how cruel it is," Hiroshi said helplessly.

"Really, you guys are overthinking it." Mingxu rolled his eyes at them, then casually put the rice bag away; it would be fine to use it to store other things later.

"Even when you go to the toilet, you say you're dancing while you're doing it~" Shin-chan continued.

"If we do that, a tragedy will happen! We're told to sit down!" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Shin-chan, then remembered Misae's words and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"How can you possibly get up sitting down!"

"That's right, absolutely impossible!" Hiroshi took a big gulp of beer, thinking to himself: I work so hard for my family every day, and this is how I get treated! Misae just sees me as an ATM to collect her meager monthly salary.

Thinking this, Hiroshi began to cry.

"Um, Dad, it's not that serious. Mom was just worried about your liver, that's why she limited your beer intake. Also, we've already talked to Mom about the toilet. From now on, as long as everyone is careful when using the toilet, there won't be any other problems," Mingxu said hurriedly, seeing Guangzhi's expression.

Hiroshi sniffed and wiped his face: "Really? Then, can the toilet problem really be solved?"

Mingxu nodded: "Yes, I told my mom that everyone will be more careful in the future and won't make it so dirty again."

Hiroshi then cheered up a bit and took another big gulp of beer: "Okay, then it seems I misunderstood Misae."

Just then, Misae came out of the room, saw Hiroshi's appearance, and said irritably, "Oh, who's crying?"

Hiroshi turned his head away somewhat awkwardly: "Who, who's crying? I just got sand in my eyes."

Misae snorted: "Alright, stop being stubborn and come eat."

As she spoke, Mei put down some snacks to go with her drinks: "These are your snacks."

"Wow, Dad's snacks for drinking are so plentiful!" Shin-chan said, looking at Misae.

"Of course, Dad works very hard every day, and we also need to take care of his health!" Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan.

Hiroshi looked at Misae and thought to himself: Misae... Even though she's busy every day, she still cares about me.

"Honey, come on, you've worked hard today too." Misae picked up the beer on the table and poured Hiroshi a glass.

Wow, I feel so happy!

"What's wrong with you?" Misae asked, blushing as she looked at Hiroshi.

"Daddy who was crying just now is back again~" the little ones said with smiles.

The dining table was filled with warmth; everyone chatted and laughed, their faces beaming with smiles.
