In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1475 Under the Warm Table in Winter

"One punch to decide the winner, no complaining allowed!" Guangzhi said, and everyone raised their hands.

"Ready! Rock, paper, scissors!"

So everyone was a rock, except for Hiroshi, who was a pair of scissors.

“…” Mingxu looked at Guangzhi helplessly.

Hiroshi sighed, obediently packed his things, and went to wash the dishes.

Looking at Hiroshi's expression, Misae couldn't help but remark, "In these kinds of situations, the person who makes the suggestion usually loses."

"Dad, your back view makes me want to cry!" Shin-chan exclaimed to Hiroshi.

"Alright, stop making sarcastic remarks." Mingxu rolled his eyes at them.

"Hehe~ Honey, could you hang up my clothes while you're at it, okay?" Misae started pushing her luck.

Hiroshi turned around and immediately picked up Aoi: "Is Aoi asleep? Please take care of her~"

"Sigh~ Fine." Hiroshi had no choice but to pick up the clothes from the washing machine and hang them out to dry in the yard.

Xiaobai looked at Guangzhi and couldn't help but shake his head; what a pitiful man.

"It's so cold~ Ugh, it's so cold, my hands are almost frozen." After hanging up the clothes, Hiroshi looked at the people inside the house, who were playing games at the kotatsu (heated table).

"These guys don't care about other people's feelings at all." Looking at them, Hiroshi felt complicated.

"It seems to have gotten even colder today, starting today." Hiroshi said, shivering slightly as he huddled inside the kotatsu (heated table) after entering the house.

"The weather forecast says today is the coldest day of the winter," Mingxu said, watching TV.

"No wonder it feels so cold." Hiroshi continued to shiver.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Hello, there's a package."

"Oh! Right, we have something to deliver today." Misae realized this too, and looked at Hiroshi, her meaning quite clear.

"Hey, I'm definitely not going out this time! It's your turn to go out!" Hiroshi resolutely refused, looking at Misae without any mercy.

"Oh, but I'm still wearing my pajamas. I don't want any man other than my husband to see me like this~" Misae immediately started to whine to Hiroshi.

"...It feels even colder than outside." Hiroshi shivered again.

"What do you mean?!" Misae looked at Hiroshi with annoyance.

"Hurry up, or the delivery guy will run away," Hiroshi said, listening to the doorbell ringing incessantly.

"Alright, I'll go." Mingxu rolled his eyes, stood up again, and walked towards the door, grabbing the seal along the way.

"I'm here, I'm here. Sorry, I couldn't find the seal earlier," Mingxu said apologetically.

"Hmm, it's alright. Little brother, where are you at home?" The deliveryman was a little puzzled, looking at the quietness inside the house.

"Oh, they're not up yet, it's the weekend after all," Mingxu said, shrugging with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, right, it's so cold, everyone wants to sleep in a bit longer." The deliveryman nodded in agreement. If he didn't have to deliver something, he would have been sleeping in bed too.

After packing his things, Shin-chan got excited when he saw a box full of snacks.

"Wow~ Senbei, Senbei!"

Misae immediately looked at Hiroshi: "Honey, would you like a cup of tea?"

"Oh! Okay, okay, make me a cup of tea." Hiroshi said to Misae.

"Ugh, I was just saying that since you wanted a drink, you could make me one too, that's why I asked you." Misae immediately crossed her arms, looking aggrieved.

"That's ridiculous!" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at her.

"Then there's no other way, let's decide by rock-paper-scissors!" Misae looked at Hikaru and raised her hand again.

"Rock-paper-scissors, rock-paper-scissors."

"Ah! Oh dear, I don't want to play rock-paper-scissors anymore!" Hiroshi resolutely refused, as his luck in rock-paper-scissors was simply no match for theirs.

Seeing Hiroshi's expression, Shin-chan immediately complained, "Dad, you're not acting like a man."

"Stop nagging!" Hiroshi shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"Fine then, if I don't throw a punch, I lose. Let's start with rock-paper-scissors!" Misae said decisively as she threw a punch.

Hiroshi, quick-witted, threw a punch, but was defeated again.

"Wait, wait! My hands were frozen just now, let's do it again!" Hiroshi waved his hands and shouted.

"That's not right. Xiao Xu didn't throw a punch just now," Xiao Xin suddenly pointed at Ming Xu beside him.

"Huh? But we can't let Xiaoxu use the thermos, right? So you'll have to make it yourself." Misae raised an eyebrow at Hiroshi again.

"Huh? If that's the case, then you can go!" Hiroshi said, immediately dissatisfied.

“I didn’t lose at rock-paper-scissors again,” Misae said smugly, raising an eyebrow.

"Alright, I'll go." Mingxu sighed. Life is tough, Xiaoxu sighed.

"Sigh, never mind, you should just sit down, I'll go." Hiroshi sighed as well, feeling like he was being manipulated by them.

As I entered the kitchen to make tea, someone behind me said, "Dad, I think I'll change it to matcha milk instead."

"I'll switch to coffee too," Misae said upon hearing this.

"Alright, just have some hot tea, Dad, don't worry about them." Mingxu shook his head at the two of them and said, "Changing orders all the time isn't a good thing."

"Uh..." The two scratched their heads, seemingly agreeing.

"Waaah~ Xiao Xu is still the best~" Hiroshi's eyes welled up with tears. Xiao Xu is still the best!

After brewing the tea, they sat down again at the heated table to drink tea and eat snacks.

"Wow~ Life with a kotatsu (heated table) is definitely the best~"

"I really want to bring the kotatsu (heated table) to kindergarten too."

"If only my desk at work could be turned into a heated table!" Hiroshi couldn't help but sigh, and he started imagining that scene in his mind.

Seeing this, Mingxu couldn't help but complain, "Then why not just change the floor and install underfloor heating?"

"Hmm, that makes sense. I'll suggest it to him later." Hiroshi stroked his chin and nodded seriously.

......

Before they knew it, they had fallen asleep leaning against the kotatsu (heated table).

When Hiroshi woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

"Oh, Dad, you're finally awake." Mingxu couldn't help but smile when he saw Guangzhi wake up.

"Oh no, I've completely fallen asleep." Hiroshi was a little embarrassed; it seemed he had indeed been quite tired lately.

"You're awake! Here, have some tea." Misae smiled and handed Hiroshi a cup of hot tea. "Let's have hot pot later."

"Wow~ Not bad!" Hiroshi was overjoyed.

"Then I'll go prepare the ingredients." Misae said as she got up and walked towards the kitchen, muttering to herself as she went, "Buy some fresh meat, all kinds of vegetables, and some tofu and mushrooms."

As soon as Shin-chan heard that they were going to have hot pot, he immediately perked up, climbed out of the kotatsu (heated table), waved his little hands, and shouted, "I want to eat lots and lots of meat!" Himawari sat down next to him and echoed him with her babbling.

Guangzhi sipped his hot tea and said with a smile, "Alright, let's have a good hot pot meal today to warm ourselves up."

Mingxu nodded, "Yes, hot pot is perfect for winter."

A moment later, Misae came out of the kitchen with her wallet and shopping bags: "I'm going out to buy groceries now."

Hiroshi stood up. "I'll go with you, and we can get some exercise too."

Misae waved her hand: "No need, you just woke up, rest a little longer, I can go by myself." After saying that, Misae went out.

Hiroshi sat back down at the kotatsu table, looking at Akira, Shin-chan, and Himawari. "When Misae comes back, we can have a steaming hot pot!" Shin-chan's eyes sparkled. "I can't wait!"

Misae acted very quickly this time, soon buying some ingredients, and everyone enjoyed a delicious meal around the kotatsu (heated table).
