Chapter 1456 The Working Mother (Part 1)
That night, at the Nohara residence, Hiroshi, after hearing Misae's words, could hardly believe his ears and asked again, "You said you're going to work???"
Misae nodded: "So I'm asking you for help. Just tomorrow will be fine. I hope you can take care of the children for me. Of course, with Xiaoxu around, it will be easier for you too."
Hiroshi stroked his chin: "Well, tomorrow is Saturday, no need to work, of course it's fine. But why do you suddenly want to go to work?" He looked at Misae with some suspicion. Could it be that she bought something with her family's savings again and now she doesn't have enough, so she wants to work to make up for it?
Shin-chan looked at Misae and revealed the truth: "My mom, who loves taking naps and is always so lazy, is actually going to work. It just seems weird no matter how you look at it."
"No matter how you look at it, it must be because Mom's husband's salary is too low," Shin-chan said, shrugging.
"Hey, hey, hey, there aren't many people who can compare to this salary level now." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin helplessly, wondering why the salary was always so low.
Misae glared at Shin-chan, annoyed. "Stop nagging. My neighbor asked me to help with a product tasting event at the department store. It's only tomorrow, and we're short-handed." After she explained, everyone understood.
"Oh, that's why I suddenly asked you for help."
"That's it." Misae nodded, finally making things clear.
Xiaoxin was a little uncertain: "Product tasting, that's the kind of stalls Mom used to go to when she didn't have money, right?"
"No money?" Mingxu looked at Meiya uncertainly. Meiya waved her hands repeatedly: "It's not that we don't have money, it's just that we might as well eat it."
"Oh? So, Mom, you were lying to me back then and didn't buy me cookies." Shin-chan immediately realized.
“…I didn’t!” Misae turned her head and denied it.
"So which stalls are they?" Shin-chan looked at everyone again.
"It's those steak or sausage stalls on site," Mingxu said casually.
Shin-chan nodded and looked at Misae again: "But Mom, after you finish eating, you'll still eat as usual when you get home, right? So your belly, with its layers of fat and internal organs, will make a gurgling sound~ gurgling sound~" As he spoke, Shin-chan pinched the fat on his belly and teased Misae.
"!" Misae's veins bulged instantly. She grabbed Shin-chan and unleashed her Spinning Fist on Shin-chan's head. Shin-chan cried out in pain before finally quieting down.
After letting out a sigh of relief, Misae looked at everyone again: "Speaking of which, the community product I'm going to help out with tomorrow is super premium Wagyu beef~" As she spoke, Misae deliberately drew out her voice to attract their attention.
"Premium Wagyu beef?!" Shin-chan and Hiroshi immediately got excited. Mingxu raised an eyebrow: "So, will Mom buy it?"
"Sure! Then I'll use the money I earned from my part-time job, and tomorrow~" Misae paused deliberately at this point.
"What?" Hiroshi asked uncertainly.
Seeing everyone's expectant expressions, Misae slammed her hand on the table: "We're having a barbecue party tomorrow to celebrate!"
"Great! That's fantastic!" Everyone cheered immediately.
The next day, Misae got up early and went to Sato Kyujido's place.
When the supervisor saw Misae, he immediately greeted her with a smile, "Welcome, I've been waiting for you to come."
Seeing this, Misae smiled and said, "I'm Nohara Misae. It's nice to meet you today."
"I'm the one who needs your help. Please put on that outfit right away." The supervisor said, pointing to a mascot costume next to him.
Looking at the mascot costume, Misae paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Huh, what is this? Am I supposed to wear this to do product tasting?"
"Huh?" The supervisor was taken aback by what Misae said, then shook his head: "No, today we invited Mrs. Nohara to wear that and play rock-paper-scissors with the children who came here."
"Huh? Rock-paper-scissors?" Misae looked bewildered.
The supervisor frowned: "Don't you know?"
Misae nodded earnestly: "Yes, I only heard that today's job is to be in charge of sales in the city."
"Huh? There must be a mistake. The person in charge of product tasting and sales already decided it was someone else." The supervisor shook his head and looked at Misae: "Then I'll leave it to you."
"...Okay, fine." Misae sighed. She was already here, so it was just wearing a mascot costume. It was alright, especially since the weather was getting cold.
After getting dressed, Misae rushed to the scene, where preparations were about to begin.
The female host stood on the stage, holding the microphone, and shouted, "It's about to begin!"
Misae, dressed in a mascot costume, stood above and waved along with everyone.
Then, more and more children came upstairs to play rock-paper-scissors with Misae.
Most people win and receive a simple gift: a set of toothbrushes.
"Wow~ I won, I won!"
"Here you go, this is a set of toothbrushes as a prize. Remember to brush your teeth after dinner," the host said with a smile to the child.
"Thank you, sister, bye-bye~" After receiving the prize, the child waved goodbye to Misae.
Misae, dressed as a mascot, looked utterly helpless: "I didn't expect it to be so hot in this on such a cold day... How did things turn out like this? I'm supposed to be in charge of tasting the food... Sigh~"
However, her muttering went unheard by others. The host smiled and asked the audience, "Who would like to be the next challenger?"
"Me, me~" the children in the audience shouted immediately.
"Me! Me! Me! I want some too!" A familiar voice rang out. Misae was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Shin-chan. So, when she turned around, wow~ sure enough, Hiroshi had brought all the children over.
"Shin-chan, slow down, wait for me." Hiroshi walked over, with Akira beside him. Akira was holding Himawari and was a little unhappy that Shin-chan had fallen behind the group.
'Ugh, why are they joining in the fun?' Seeing them, Misae sighed again; she didn't want them to find out.
The host, unlike Misae, didn't think so much. Seeing Shin-chan, she smiled and said, "Well then, let's choose the energetic boy. What's your name?"
Shin-chan ran onto the stage and immediately replied, "Nohara Shinnosuke! I'm a 5-year-old and I don't quite understand the difference between Wagyu and regular beef!"
"Um, haha, did you come with your mother?" The host looked at Xiaoxin, smiled awkwardly, and asked again.
"No, actually I came here to find my mom, but I can't find her anywhere. Mom~ Where did you go after leaving us all here? Xiao Kui misses her mom too~" Xiao Xin's voice immediately came through the microphone.
Mingxu Guangzhi and Xiaokui silently turned around and lowered their heads. It was too embarrassing. At this moment, they couldn't admit that they knew this kid.
Misae, dressed as a mascot, felt incredibly embarrassed, thinking she was about to dig her toes out of her toes. Ugh! You brat!
Upon hearing this, the host immediately felt sorry for her: "Oh dear, I see. Don't be sad."
"Waaah~" Shin-chan pretended to lie on the host's lap, and those who knew him couldn't help but roll their eyes. The brat really knew how to take advantage of others.
Misae was sweating profusely: "Honestly, you guys should just stay home and watch the house!" She didn't know if it was from embarrassment or the heat.
Seeing that Shin-chan was still going on, Hiroshi, sitting in the audience, had no choice but to urge him, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and play rock-paper-scissors!" Before they could react, Misae pressed their heads down, and Hiroshi subconsciously said to the host, "I'm so sorry."
