In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1344 Mengya Visits the Sick (Part 2)

"Xiao Xu, let's go buy groceries and make sukiyaki~" Meng Ya looked at Ming Xu sitting in the living room with a smile, her face full of flattery.

"...Alright, let's go, let's go." Mingxu looked at Mengya speechlessly, immediately realizing that this guy wanted to take advantage of her.

The two went out and headed towards the nearby supermarket. Along the way, Mengya chattered incessantly, discussing what groceries to buy and how delicious the sukiyaki would be. Mingxu responded only half-heartedly, but in his mind, he was thinking about how to keep an eye on his wallet and prevent Mengya, this "shopaholic," from buying too many unnecessary things.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Mengya dashed off like a wild horse into the fresh produce section. She picked up a piece of beef, examined it from all angles, even sniffing it, before turning to Mingxu and asking, "Xiaoxu, how's this piece of beef? It looks pretty fresh." Mingxu stepped forward, glanced at the label, and said, "It's a bit pricey. Let's look at some others; maybe there are some better value." Mengya reluctantly put it down and continued browsing the shelves.

Next, Mengya selected various vegetables, including cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms, and also picked up a box of tofu. As she put them into the shopping cart, she muttered, "These are all essential ingredients for making sukiyaki." Mingxu looked at the shopping cart gradually filling up and smiled helplessly.

When choosing seasonings, Mengya was at a loss. Faced with the dazzling array of soy sauce, mirin, and other seasonings on the shelf, she didn't know which one to choose. She turned to Mingxu for help: "Xiaoxu, take a look and see which brand of seasonings your mother usually chooses."

Mingxu stepped forward, carefully compared the ingredients and prices of different brands, and then selected a few suitable seasonings to put into the shopping cart.

"Mengya, buy me some cookies." Xiaoxin, who had caught up with us at some point, put a box of cookies in the shopping cart.

"Okay." Mengya agreed without hesitation. Mingxu's lips twitched. Good grief, it's not your money after all, huh? Oh well, it's only once or twice, I don't mind.

After buying all the necessary ingredients, they pushed their shopping cart to the checkout.

Looking at the huge pile of items on the checkout counter, Mengya stuck out her tongue and said to Mingxu somewhat embarrassedly, "Xiaoxu, I've made you spend money again this time." Mingxu smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as I can eat delicious sukiyaki later."

After paying the bill, the three of them carried large and small bags of groceries and slowly walked home.

After placing the items on the table, Mengya looked at the abundance of ingredients and hesitated, "What's next..."

"Mengya, I'm so hungry my stomach and butt are practically stuck together~" Xiaoxin said shyly from the side.

"Wait a little longer, my brother-in-law seems to be coming back early today too." Mengya had barely finished speaking when she heard the sound of a door opening: "I'm home!"

When Hiroshi returned, he went to find Misae first. Seeing Akira pouring water for him, Hiroshi nodded and then carefully asked, "Is Misae alright? You asked Yume to come here to help, right? How are you feeling?"

"I feel my body temperature is getting closer to normal." Misae felt her forehead and smiled.

"Okay, that's good." Hiroshi nodded in agreement.

Just then, a voice came from the kitchen: "Brother-in-law~ I'm begging you!"

Shin-chan also shouted, "Dad!"

"Huh? What's going on?" Hiroshi was confused for a moment.

"I guess they want you to cook, Dad. You go ahead, I'll take care of Mom," Mingxu said calmly to Guangzhi.

"Okay, then Misae, you should get some rest." With that, Hiroshi helped Misae hang up the blankets before getting up and leaving.

After helping to cook dinner in the kitchen, the group sat in the living room looking at the sukiyaki in front of them, and Shin-chan called Mingxu out as well.

"Wow~ It looks so luxurious." Shin-chan said with satisfaction as he looked at the pot in front of him.

"My cooking looks delicious!" Hiroshi said with satisfaction.

"Oh my, I really didn't know my brother-in-law was such a great chef!" Mengya exclaimed, her eyes shining.

"Haha~ Let's eat to our hearts' content!" Guangzhi said, and the group excitedly began to eat.

Inside the house, Misae heard the commotion outside and wondered what they were eating. Feeling that she had recovered quite a bit, she got up.

Outside, Mengya kept flattering Guangzhi: "Brother-in-law, you are the important breadwinner of the family, so you need to get enough nutrition!"

"I was really shocked when I heard it was Misae calling. Luckily, my cold wasn't too bad. But I didn't expect that when I rushed back, there would be sukiyaki at home," Hiroshi said, laughing.

"Of course, it cost me several thousand yuan," Mingxu said, shrugging helplessly.

"What!" Misae's voice came from behind. Her eyes widened as she looked at the group in front of her, then at the sukiyaki in front of her: "You guys are eating such a luxurious meal!"

"Oh dear, Misae, can you get up now? You should lie down and rest. I'm the person in the whole world who worries about you the most, you know that~" Hiroshi hurriedly stepped forward to massage Misae's shoulders.

"Big sister," Mengya said, feeling guilty.

"Mengya, are you rich? You can even afford sukiyaki!" Miya looked at Mengya with annoyance.

"No, I'm not that rich... Oh, look, my brother-in-law wants some too, so I was thinking of buying some better quality meat to make sukiyaki~"

"Special domestic top-grade black Wagyu beef, the price is..." Misae looked at the price and glared at Mengya with annoyance.

"Ah, well, my older sister also caught a cold, so it's good for her to eat something nutritious. But she doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. Do you want some?" Mengya asked cautiously.

"Of course I want to eat it!" Misae glared at her.

"Oh, I see..."

"Put all this meat in the pot!" Misae looked at Hiroshi and handed him the meat.

"Okay, okay." Hiroshi nodded, then put the meat into the pot, and everyone ate heartily: "Mmm, so delicious~"

"Is it delicious?" Mengya breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a piece of meat for herself.

Misae glared at her: "You have to pay back Xiaoxu the money for the pizza at noon and this pot of sukiyaki as soon as you get your salary next month!" Unsurprisingly, Misae immediately realized who had paid for it.

"Ah! Please don't, ouch~" Mengya suddenly sneezed.

"..." The group looked at Mengya uncertainly. Goodness, this girl actually caught a cold.

There was no other way, so everyone hurriedly finished eating, and Mengya was arranged to lie down on the second floor.

Misae recovered the next day. After sending Shin-chan back to kindergarten, she returned home and said with satisfaction, "Since he's all better after eating sukiyaki, let's go again..."

Looking at Mengya on the second floor, Meiya said irritably, "Honestly, the person who came to visit you caught a cold herself!"

"How embarrassing..." Mengya calmly drank her porridge.

"You should get well soon and go home," Miya said helplessly to Mengya.

Mengya shamelessly made a request: "Big sister, can you keep taking care of me and paying my salary?"

"I can't stand you!" Misae glared at Mengya again, but what could she do? She was her own sister.
