Chapter 1526 My Little Radish (Part 1)
Chapter 1526 My Little Radish (Part 1)
"Potatoes, potatoes, potato chips~" Shin-chan hummed a song as he walked home, carrying a shopping basket filled with groceries.
"Shin-chan!" A familiar female voice came from behind.
Shin-chan was taken aback, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Nana waving at him from behind.
Seeing Nanako, Shin-chan excitedly ran over: "Nanako-neechan! What a small world to meet here!"
Hearing Shin-chan's words, Nanako's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Um, that's not the right way to put it. Shin-chan, come out and help me buy things?"
Looking at the shopping basket in Xiaoxin's hand, Nana asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shin-chan immediately said in a serious tone, "Yes, it's only natural for children to help their parents with chores!"
"Wow~ That's amazing." Nana praised Shin-chan, then remembered something, took a packet of seeds out of her bag and handed it to Shin-chan: "Oh right, the shopkeeper just gave this to me, so I'll give it to Shin-chan."
"I'm so grateful! Um? What's this?" Shin-chan looked at the picture on it, a little embarrassed, because he didn't like carrots.
“20-day radish is the English word 'radish',” Nana explained.
"Oh~ so it's Radish. What's Radish?" Shin-chan suddenly realized, but looked at Nanako with some confusion.
“It’s a vegetable. Try scattering the seeds in the soil and planting them. You’ll definitely grow some really cute Radishes,” Nanako said with a smile to Shin-chan.
"Yes! I will definitely train this Radish to be outstanding!" Shin-chan said to Nana with a smug look on his face.
"Okay, good luck! I'm off now." Nana waved to Shin-chan and turned to leave.
"Thank you, Nana-chan!" Shin-chan waved to Nana-chan until he could no longer see her back before turning around and walking home.
After returning home, Xiaoxin immediately told his family about the packet of seeds.
Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin with some suspicion: "You want to plant it?"
"Of course, this was given to me by Nana-chan, so I have to take good care of him!" Shin-chan said earnestly.
"What? You can take care of plants by yourself?" Misae looked at Shin-chan with suspicion. This kid can take care of plants? If the green peppers last time hadn't been so resilient, they would have died long ago.
Seeing their distrustful looks, Shin-chan clenched his fist in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Of course! Because I made a promise with Nana-chan!"
Seeing Shin-chan's expression, Misae immediately teased, "Tsk tsk, he really listens to Nana-chan!"
But I sighed inwardly: Even though Shin-chan said that, I think in the end it will be me or Xu who takes care of things over there. If we make good use of this opportunity, we might be able to get Shin-chan to fall in love with growing vegetables!
Imagining that scene, Misae suddenly had an idea. Great! Maybe this way she could save some money on groceries!
So she looked at Shin-chan: "Okay! I understand, but you must take responsibility and take good care of Radish!"
"Leave it to me! I'll make it and give it to Nana-chan as a gift!" Shin-chan said earnestly.
"Oh, in that case, Nanako will definitely be very happy," Misae said with a smile, looking at Shin-chan.
"I just don't know how many will actually grow," Mingxu said, shrugging.
Xiao Xin immediately puffed out his cheeks and looked at Ming Xu: "Xiao Xu is so annoying! I can definitely do it! But this way, my reputation has also risen!"
"It's more like the tide is rising, right?" Mingxu rolled her eyes at Xiaoxin. Then the three of them went to the yard and scattered radish seeds in the flowerpots in the garden. Of course, the process of loosening the soil, fertilizing and watering before scattering the seeds was essential.
After preparing the soil, Misae used her finger to dig a line in the middle: "After doing this, put the seeds in here."
"Okay!" Shin-chan nodded, picked up the seeds and started pouring.
Seeing Shin-chan's speed, Misae quickly reminded him, "Don't pour so much out at once!"
"Wait!" Mingxu hurriedly covered Xiaoxin's mouth. This thing was too small; it could fly away with just a breath.
"Shin-chan, slow down. These seeds are too small. If you pull too hard, there won't be any seeds left to plant." Mingxu warned Shin-chan. He nodded and then let go. Shin-chan carefully held the seeds, waiting for Misae's command.
"Alright, let's start planting." Misae said with a smile, looking at Shin-chan's serious expression.
Shin-chan nodded and continued scattering the seeds. Seeing this, Misae quickly called out again, "Hey, don't scatter too many seeds in one place. You have to spread them out evenly like this." As she spoke, Misae demonstrated, and Shin-chan immediately started scattering the seeds according to Misae's method.
Seeing his expression, Misae nodded. Shin-chan breathed a sigh of relief after scattering the seeds; "You made me so nervous."
"Now do as I say, cover these little bugs with a blanket." Misae sprinkled some soil on the seeds, and Shin-chan followed her example, saying, "Oh, little seeds~ grow up quickly~"
"Yes, that's right. You can also tell them to go to sleep quickly and grow up fast." Misae nodded in satisfaction as she watched Shin-chan's actions.
"Go to sleep well and grow up quickly, my little Radish." Shin-chan looked at the seeds he had prepared, his face full of excitement.
'Hehe, actually, Shin-chan has some cute qualities too.' Misae thought to herself as she looked at Shin-chan.
But her hopes were quickly dashed as Shin-chan firmly declared, "This is all for the love between her and Nana-chan!"
"Sigh~" Misae sighed, and Mingxu handed her a water jug: "Alright, you can start watering now."
“Yes, just water it a little more and it’ll be done,” Misae nodded in agreement.
"Okay!" Shin-chan took the water bottle and sprayed the seeds.
Mingxu instructed, "Water it little by little, otherwise the water will wash the seeds away."
"Yes, yes. Success!" Shin-chan beamed with joy after watering the plants.
Misae also stood up: "The seeds will sprout in a few days."
"Wow~ I can't wait!" Shin-chan exclaimed happily, then looked at Shiro behind him: "Shiro, you must protect my little Radish! If anyone suspicious tries to take him away, give them a good kick with Action Kamen!"
"Woof~" Xiaobai nodded. Mingxu's lips twitched. When did it learn that? Besides dog-like actions, Xiaobai has also picked up quite a few human-like ones.
"I don't think anyone will take it away..." Mingxu was speechless. Putting aside who would steal the seeds, even if they were to steal something valuable, they should at least steal something worthwhile.
"I wonder what it will look like~ Hehe~" Shin-chan ignored them and was thinking to himself about the scene after he planted it and handed it to Nanako. His face was full of pride.
"Well, hopefully this kid can maintain this attitude for at least twenty days. Twenty days is a long time." Mingxu and Meiya looked at each other and shook their heads. They were unsure about Shin-chan's personality.
