Chapter 1428 A Solo Shower During Duty
"Okay! Let's do our best!"
Yes! Keep it up!
"No! I meant let's cheer each other on!"
......
At the Nohara family home, the children were watching TV while Misae was washing dishes in the kitchen. Misae glanced at the time and frowned. She picked up her phone and looked at it, only to find that she had received a message from Hiroshi not long ago saying that he would be home late. Her eyes widened in surprise.
He then looked at the children and said, "Dad said he'll be back a little later."
Shin-chan shrugged: "Their company is the best example of someone who refuses to change their work methods."
"Yeah." Xiaokui nodded in agreement.
"Don't criticize other companies' systems so easily," Mingxu said helplessly to Xiaoxin.
"Sigh~ I'm taking a shower all by myself." Misae sighed as she looked at the little ones.
"Huh? What's that?" The little ones looked at Misae with some curiosity.
"One-on-one operation, in English, means doing the work by yourself. It means Mom has to find a way to bathe you all by herself." Misae looked at the little ones, her face full of helplessness.
"?" Mingxu looked at Meiya with some confusion. Meiya saw Mingxu's expression and her lips twitched. Oh, she forgot about Xiaoxu. He would also help.
Xiao Xin stroked his chin and said, "I remember that Dad always took the two of us to take a bath by himself, and sometimes Xiao Xu would help him get our clothes or something."
"No! That was done in collaboration with Mom, so it can't be considered as doing it alone!" Misae hurriedly argued, recalling how Hiroshi would always take Aoi out first, then bring a towel over to dry Aoi off before dressing her.
"No!" Shin-chan interrupted Misae's fantasy: "Sometimes it's Asahi who helps!"
"..." Misae ignored Shin-chan and continued, "But if we don't pack the timer properly, Himawari will run away from your dad and run around everywhere..."
Before Misae could finish speaking, Shin-chan chimed in, "Then, Asahi would go over, pick up Himawari who was crawling around with a towel, and put her in the bedroom."
"...Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Misae looked at Shin-chan with a hint of annoyance: "Anyway, you guys probably can't understand it yet, but mothers all over the country know how hard it is!"
"Huh?" The two little ones looked at Mingxu, who shrugged, indicating that they were cooperating with their mother.
Mingxu also looked at Meiya: "So, Mom, what are we going to do?"
"You guys, uh, never mind, anyway, I have to be fully prepared!" With that, Misae started to get to work, putting all the things she would need after taking a bath in a basket on the side, as well as baby lotion and other things. After she had everything ready, Misae was about to put it at the bathroom door when she looked up and saw that Shin-chan had also been tidying up his things there at some point.
"Shin-chan, are you getting ready? That's amazing!" Misae couldn't help but praise Shin-chan as she watched him get ready.
"Ah! It's in the way!" Shin-chan looked at the basket Misae had placed to the side and immediately wanted to push it away.
"Wait! Shin-chan, don't push Himawari's things away!" Misae shouted hurriedly.
"But there's nowhere to put it if I have it!" Shin-chan insisted on putting it in the place closest to the bathroom.
"But! Mom's things have to be here too!" Misae argued. "Excuse me, could you please put your things on the other side?"
"Ah! Does that mean I have to run over there naked to get dressed?" Shin-chan exclaimed in surprise.
"Hey, hey, hey." Mingxu looked at them speechlessly, "Couldn't you guys put it on top of the washing machine?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a few simple pieces of clothing that he had placed there.
"..." The two of them paused, then thought, "Hmm, that makes sense..."
Misae then went into the bathroom and started adjusting things: "I don't know if it will go smoothly~" She was still a little worried that she wouldn't be able to do it well.
"Mom, come quick! Hurry up!" Shin-chan's voice suddenly came from outside. Misae was startled, turned on the tap, and turned to walk towards the bedroom: "What's wrong?"
"Hehe~ Should I wear Action Kamen underwear or Kombat underwear today? Please give your opinion as a mother." Shin-chan asked Misae, holding a bunch of different underwear. Misae's lips twitched. She noticed Mingxu standing to the side. It seemed that Mingxu was also annoyed by Shin-chan.
"Who cares what you wear!" Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan.
"That's so mean." Xiaoxin puffed out his cheeks and looked at Mingxu again; "Xiaoxu~"
"Stop, stop, stop, let's call it Action Kamen." Mingxu sighed and pointed casually.
"Hehe~" Shin-chan laughed immediately: "That's right, that's what I thought too."
Misae looked at Shin-chan helplessly: "Listen carefully, there's only one adult, Mommy, today. So Shin-chan and Asahi, you two have to be the first to come out of the bathroom and then help me carry Himawari out." She looked at the two little ones with a serious expression.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Xiaoxin scratched his head, somewhat confused.
Mingxu looked at Meiya: "Mom, tell me about your plans."
“Okay, here’s the plan: the two of you who come out of the bathroom first, dry yourselves off immediately, and then carry Aoi out.” Misae looked at the two little ones and said, “One of you carry Aoi, and the other prepare a towel to catch her.”
"Mmm. And then?" Mingxu asked Misae again.
"And I want you to stay here and watch over her, so that Aoi doesn't sneak out, understand?" Misae looked at them: "It's just for a moment when Mommy comes out of the bathroom, just a moment, okay?"
"Okay, is that alright?"
"That's all, a perfect process, right?" Misae nodded and smiled.
"Okay, then I'll have a drink by myself~" Shin-chan said, gesturing with a drinking gesture, and happily added, "A perfect process~"
"Oh right, I also need to prepare some drinks. I'll put them here for you guys to drink." With that, Misae took some drinks out of the refrigerator and placed them on the table. As soon as she finished speaking, Shin-chan reached out to pick them up and drink.
Misae was taken aback and quickly stopped her, saying, "Wait a minute, I meant after you take a bath, then drink it!"
"Ah~ but I want to drink it now," Shin-chan said, puffing out his cheeks.
"Didn't you want to have a drink after your shower?" Misae looked at Shin-chan speechlessly.
"It's not just a drink, it's a hearty, unrestrained drink!" Shin-chan said with a grin.
"Is that what you just said?" Mingxu asked helplessly, but he felt like he had forgotten something. Hmm, what was it?
“Exactly, you won’t feel the refreshing sensation if you drink it now,” Misae agreed.
"But it's also important to stay hydrated before taking a bath. Chiharu mentioned this on the Morning Show," Shin-chan said seriously.
"Oh? Really?" Misae stroked her chin, then turned around and saw that the little ones were all drinking from a glass of water. Misae looked at them with a grin: "If you need to stay hydrated, then drinking water will do~"
Mingxu downed his drink in one gulp, then glanced at the drinks on the table. Goodness, the difference between the two was huge.
"It has no taste." Shin-chan finished drinking and puffed out his cheeks.
"Alright, the bath preparations are complete. Xiaoxu, Xiaoxin, the water will be hot in about 10 minutes. Thank you for your help." Misae said, standing up.
"Mom, I've thought of all sorts of worries," Shin-chan said, scratching his head.
"There are all sorts of them."
"What should I do if Aoi suddenly goes berserk when I take over after her shower?" Shin-chan asked Misae worriedly.
"Don't worry, it only lasts a moment." Misae looked at Shin-chan: "Besides, Asahi is right there. Whether Asahi goes to get the towel or you go to get it, it's fine, right?"
"But what if something unexpected happens in that instant and causes Xiao Kui to go crazy?" Xiao Xin still looked worried: "What if Xiao Kui breaks free when Xiao Xu goes to get the towel? What if she breaks free when I go to get the towel and Xiao Xu hands her to me?"
"I just feel like you're overthinking things," Mingxu said, looking at Xiaoxin with a hint of exasperation.
“Exactly, you’re overthinking it.” Misae looked at Shin-chan speechlessly: “There’s no such thing as something unexpected.”
"It's precisely because I can't imagine it at all! Because I'm very worried, I have to practice it first!" Shin-chan said seriously.
"Huh?" Misae and Mingxu exchanged a glance, both of them noticing the speechless look in each other's eyes.
'But if I ruin Shin-chan's good mood here, the perfect plan will be ruined. Sigh~' Misae sighed silently and looked at Shin-chan helplessly: "That's right, let's try it out first."
So, Misae picked up Himawari and handed her to Himawari, saying, "Okay, Shin-chan, Himawari is yours now. Asahi, go get a towel."
“Okay…” Mingxu hadn’t even taken a few steps after turning around when Xiaoxin shook his head: “That’s not right! How can we start right from here!”
"Huh?" Misae was taken aback. Looking at Shin-chan's expression, she moved the mat over and pushed the toy box over, saying, "This is the bathtub. Come on, let's start with the bathtub."
"Huh? Why did you have to go to such lengths?" Misae looked at Shin-chan helplessly, then picked up Himawari and sat her in the box.
"Ugh! So much bathwater has overflowed, what a waste!" Shin-chan immediately complained.
"How rude! Are you saying Mommy is fat or something? Besides, Mommy wouldn't fill the bath with this much water!" Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan, while Mingxu sat to the side, helplessly pretending to scrub Shin-chan's back.
"Alright, let's wash your hair." Shin-chan started pretending: "Heave-ho~ No lather at all~ Ah~ I accidentally used conditioner! Oh well, I'll just have to wash it again with Mom's premium shampoo~"
"Ah! Shin-chan, wait a minute, just use the children's shampoo here!" Misae called out instinctively.
Mingxu looked at Meiya speechlessly: "Mom, let's leave it at that for now."
"Alright, that's enough. Let's rehearse the scene where Xiao Kui is handed over."
"Ah! But I haven't washed myself yet!" Shin-chan immediately puffed out his cheeks.
"Skip it! The bath water will be hot soon!" Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan.
"Oh! Ah! Mom, did you turn on the bathwater?" Mingxu suddenly thought of something and looked at Meiya uncertainly.
"Ah!" Misae suddenly realized what was happening, hurriedly handed Aoi to Mingxu, and then ran towards the bathroom. The water was flowing freely, but not a drop of it remained in the bathtub.
"Mom, you forgot to plug the stopper..." Mingxu looked at Meiya with a helpless expression.
"Sigh~ All that rehearsal for nothing, we have to start all over again." Misae sighed as well.
Hiroshi just got home: "I'm back. Have you all finished showering? I'll go first before eating... eh?" As soon as Hiroshi entered the house, he saw Misae's expression and fell silent.
"Really, Dad's timing is really bad~" Shin-chan said, shrugging.
"Sigh~ Let's start over." Mingxu shrugged. The others helped each other put the water in the pot, and after waiting for a while, Guangzhi finished his meal. Everyone had a clear division of labor, and now it was finally over.
