Chapter 576 Raising Tamagotchi
Chapter 576 Raising Tamagotchi
During this period, a product called Tamagotchi has become popular unknowingly. In the streets and alleys, you can often see children holding Tamagotchi and unable to let go.
The functions of feeding the chickens, bathing them, etc. are very popular among children. Of course, Shin-chan and his friends are also deeply attracted to it.
"Buy it for me, buy it for me! Tamagotchi!" Shin-chan followed Mei-ya around the house and would throw tantrums and roll on the ground from time to time.
"Tamagotchi? What on earth is this?" Miya looked at Shin-chan speechlessly.
"Well, you can think of it as a kind of electronic game console." Mingxu said, touching his chin. He had played this thing before, but it was deep in his memories. He didn't expect to encounter it here.
"Ah, will it be very expensive?" Meiya asked Mingxu a little worriedly. After all, looking at Xiaoxin's expression, she probably had to buy it for him. Since she bought it for him, she would probably have to buy it for Xiaoxu as well. Oh, what a hassle.
"Not bad." Mingxu stroked his chin and said, "I think it's a few hundred each."
"Oh, that's indeed okay." Meiya also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, Shin-chan, if you don't get up, I won't buy it for you." Meiya said unhappily as she looked at Shin-chan who was still rolling on the ground.
"Yes~" Xiao Xin quickly got up and looked at Mei Ya eagerly: "When are we leaving?"
"Hey, let's go, let's go, I'll buy it for you sooner and save you trouble." Mei Ya shook her head and said, "Xiao Xu, you..."
"Forget it, I don't want it." Mingxu shook his head. If he remembered correctly, he was a little crazy about playing this at the beginning. But after playing for a while, he didn't know where he put the machine.
Thinking about it now, it really is a distant memory.
"Is that so? Okay then." Meiya nodded. She knew her eldest son's personality. If he didn't want it, he just didn't want it. He was very straightforward.
So the group walked towards the commercial street and entered a convenience store. Shin-chan ran straight to the place where he had seen Tamagotchi being sold before.
However, when he arrived, he looked at the counter with a confused look on his face and saw the words: Tamagotchi, sold out.
"Ah?" Xiao Xin was not giving up and went to several stores in a row, but the Tamagotchi seemed to be too popular and they were all sold out.
"Mom, this one is sold out too!"
"Oh, that's a pity." Meiya said this, but she was still happy in her heart. It was good not to have to spend any money.
"Then let's go directly to Sato Kyuukidō." Mingxu suggested, "If they're out of stock there, then they must be out of stock."
"it is good."
So, a few people set out again and headed for Jiuritang, but the result was obvious: everything here had been sold out.
“This place is also sold out, so disappointed...”
"Why is this Tamagotchi so popular?" Meiya was a little confused. However, since it didn't cost any money, she still felt very happy and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.
"Mom, you seem very happy." Shin-chan turned around and saw the smile on Misae's face and complained.
"Ah... I'm not very happy."
"That's just ordinary happiness." Mingxu added.
"No! Mommy feels sad to see Shin-chan disappointed." Mei-ya pretended to say, "But since there is nothing, forget it, let's go back."
"You must be thinking that it's great that you don't have to spend money, right?" Shin-chan accused Misae.
"..." Meiya paused.
"Sure enough, that's what you think." Mingxu shook his head.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Meiya rolled her eyes and continued walking.
On the way back, Shin-chan looked enviously at the Tamagotchis hanging around the children's necks.
"Ah! I think I'm going to raise a Tamagotchi too!"
"No way, they're all sold out. Anyway, they'll be out again in the future."
"Then when will it be later?"
"The future is the future."
"What month and what date!"
"How could I possibly know!"
"If you don't know, don't say it. You are such an irresponsible mother..." As soon as Xiaoxin finished speaking, Mingxu subconsciously took a step back, and then saw Meisai grabbing Xiaoxin's cheek.
"If I let you talk in this tone again next time, I won't buy anything for you!" Meiya said while pulling.
"..Yes, I'm sorry...Mother..."
So I returned home with a disappointed look on my face, but this mood didn't last long, because a package was delivered to me. It was from the publishing house, saying it was a toy for my child, and they hoped he would like it.
"What is this?" Meiya was stunned for a moment, and opened the package casually. Unexpectedly, there was a Tamagotchi inside.
"Wow! It's a Tamagotchi!" When Shin-chan saw this thing, he took it without saying a word and started tinkering with it.
"Although there is no instruction manual, this kid became proficient in it in just a few tries." Misae was also stunned when watching Shin-chan's movements.
"It's just these few keys." Mingxu spread his hands.
"That's right." As time went by, Xiao Xin became more and more skilled at the game. He even played it during meals. Mingxu felt that he was a little bit like the crazy player he was back then.
When Guangzhi came back from get off work, he actually brought one back with him. Mingxu stared blankly at the Tamagotchi in his hand.
"For me?"
"Yeah, do you like it?" Guangzhi said with a smile looking at Mingxu.
"Thank you, Dad." Mingxu smiled, but did not turn on the machine. He put it away and put it in the cabinet in the study.
"Xiaoxu, don't you want to play?" Guangzhi asked in confusion as he looked at Mingxu's actions.
"Thank you for the gift, Dad. But I don't want to play with it." Mingxu shook his head. Unconsciously, he seemed to have lost his original enthusiasm for some things.
"Really? Then take it out and play when you want to." Guangzhi didn't say much. He touched Mingxu's head and smiled.
"Yeah." Mingxu nodded.
Downstairs, Shin-chan was still having fun playing with the Tamagotchi.
After taking a bath, Misae saw Shin-chan still playing and threatened him to put it away. Only then did he go to bed obediently. However, she also learned that the name of Shin-chan's Tamagotchi was actually Nanako.
"This child." Meiya smiled.
In the morning, Xiaoxin got up early, but the first thing he did was to pick up the Tamagotchi and start playing with it.
Just before going to kindergarten, Mingxu saw Xiaoxin entrust the Tamagotchi to Meiya because it was not allowed in kindergarten.
"Mom, I'm leaving this to you. Please take care of Xiaojing for me during class." Shin-chan entrusted the Tamagotchi to Misae.
"Xiao Jing, isn't your name Nanazi?" Mingxu was stunned when he heard it. Did he hear it wrong last night?
"Because it can fart and poop, I changed its name." Xiaoxin said without hesitation.
"Those Nanas can do the same thing," Misaya complained.
"Okay, since we can't take them to kindergarten, mommy will take care of them for me." After saying that, Xiaoxin and Mingxu got on the stroller. Meiya looked at the Tamagotchi in her hand and felt a little overwhelmed, but she was also relieved. Fortunately, Xiaoxu didn't play with it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to play with two Tamagotchis!
So, when Meiya was doing housework, she would run over when she heard the dripping sound and help the chickens clean up, etc.
However, when she went out, she disliked the Tamagotchi because it was too noisy, so when Shin-chan came back, the Tamagotchi was emotionally broken and fell into depression.
"Mom, my Xiaojing has become weird! Didn't you take good care of her?" Xiaoxin asked in confusion as he looked at the broken heart of the chick on the screen.
"Is this, a broken heart?" Mingxu looked at Xiaoji's condition with some uncertainty. Is this what a broken heart means?
"Oops..."
"You didn't take good care of it!"
"Of course there is!"
"Really?"
"But you can't take it with you when you go out shopping." Meiya said with her hands on her hips.
"Tsk~ Mom is irresponsible!"
"This is your toy! I don't care!" Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan and continued doing housework.
"Hmph, forget it, let's start over." Xiaoxin pressed the restart button.
"What? You can't repeat your real life." Meiya shook her head.
"But this is a game." Mingxu smiled and said, I wonder how long it has been since you last went to see the Tamagotchi in your hand? And Frog?
Shin-chan's interest came and went quickly, and he no longer had any interest in the Tamagotchi. Even if it made a beeping sound, Shin-chan would ignore it.
Meiya had no choice but to go up and pick it up and press the buttons. Then, unknowingly, she started carrying the Tamagotchi with her and pressed it from time to time, even when she went out to buy groceries.
He was also seen by a little girl playing with a Tamagotchi, which made him extremely angry.
It was not until the afternoon that Meiya saw that Tamagotchi was also getting married, and she suddenly felt a little emotional: "I didn't expect you to get married so soon... Time flies..."
"Mom, it seems like you've taken care of another child without realizing it." Mingxu smiled as he looked at Meiya.
"Uh, it seems so." Meiya was also stunned.
"Xiao Xin has completely forgotten about this toy now." Mingxu said as he looked at Xiao Xin watching TV.
"Yeah." Meiya also sighed.
When a few mothers gathered at a family restaurant, they took out the Tamagotchi while chatting, and everyone had an awkward look on their faces. These kids lost interest in this so quickly...
