In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1417 repeats the lunch and dinner.

Nini disagreed: "But Nini ate curry for dinner, so she'd be happy to have curry the next morning too."

Mingxu quietly said, "What if we eat it at noon, at night, on the second day, and on the third day?"

"...Even if you like it a lot, you'll get tired of it eventually." Nini's lips twitched. Xiaoxu's words were terrifying.

Mingxu suddenly realized that with so many shiitake mushrooms arriving, it meant they'd be cooking mostly shiitake mushrooms for the next while... Sigh~

Mingxu and Xiaoxin swapped their lunchboxes with Adai and Zhengnan, since they also wanted a change of pace. The two of them didn't refuse and agreed.

Hiroshi, Kawaguchi, and Yumi went to eat together. When the food was served, Hiroshi didn't hesitate and picked up his chopsticks to start eating, while Kawaguchi and Yumi took pictures with their phones.

Wow~ the plating is so stylish.

"That's right."

Hiroshi looked at them, somewhat helplessly: "Kawaguchi, why are you taking pictures too? Hurry up and eat, lunch break is almost over..." Hiroshi looked at them, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh no, I need to take some pictures too... Ah." Looking down at his lunch, Hiroshi's lips twitched; he'd almost finished eating.

"I should have thought of this before we started eating... Oh, great. Kawaguchi!" Hiroshi looked over at Kawaguchi; after all, he had ordered almost the same thing as him.

So Hiroshi took a few pictures of the food in Kawaguchi and sent them to Misae, after which he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's finally here. Why did it take so long to upload? Let me see." Opening her phone, Misae saw the photo: "Hmm, this photo is so trendy! It's not like you upload your lunch every day and call yourself an Instagram influencer. But... what kind of dish is this?" Misae looked at the photo, zoomed in, and found the name of a shop: "Hmm, this is Warm Sun Cafe. It must be near the office."

As she spoke, Misae picked up her phone and searched for the store: "Here it is."

Then I found the set meal at the Kawaguchi branch, and my eyes widened when I saw the price: "What! Lunch costs 1,500!"

Misae didn't notice there was another cheaper option nearby; after all, Hiroshi had posted photos taken by Kawaguchi.

"Office workers can only afford coin-operated restaurants, 500 yen a coin! And this looks like a woman's handkerchief, they're probably taking female colleagues there! And they'll definitely say 'Watch me today,' and then try to save face by paying for the meal! I won't let him get away with it, I absolutely won't let him get away with it, I'm going to cut his allowance. But then again, what kind of food was that anyway?" Misae got angrier and angrier as she spoke.

"Whatever, it's probably some kind of mixed grain rice, a salad made with various organic vegetables, some healthy tofu, hamburger patties, and the like." Misae said, getting even angrier. She went out to buy some things, picked out some vegetables and meat, and went home to cook.

When Hiroshi returned home that evening, he looked at the dishes in front of him and his lips twitched; "Braised pork belly with radish... It's the same old thing again."

"Huh?" Misae was dumbfounded. No way?

"Then why should I send you photos?" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Misae, completely at a loss for words.

Misae retorted, "Because you can't really tell what kind of food that trendy coffee and light meal is."

"I knew this would happen, so I sent you another one, didn't I?" Hiroshi was speechless at Misae's behavior. This girl definitely hadn't checked her phone.

Misae was taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly took out her phone to check: "Oh, the minister is treating, I see."

"Mom's too impatient," Shin-chan complained from the side.

"Mom probably got angry after seeing the photos in front of her," Mingxu analyzed. As the two children spoke, Meiya's face turned even redder because what they said was correct.

“Even wild vegetables are the same.” Hiroshi looked at the side dishes on the table, his face full of helplessness.

"I'm sorry." Misae could only lower her head and apologize. Today, she had been a bit unreasonable.

However, Hiroshi didn't pay much attention to it. After everyone finished eating and chatted for a while, they rested.

The next day, after Misae finished making breakfast, she also prepared Hiroshi's bento: "I made a bento today too."

"Oh, thanks." Hiroshi smiled and accepted it.

"That way it won't repeat itself," the two little ones nodded.

"Ey."

"Be careful on the road." After dropping Hiroshi off at work, the little ones were almost off to kindergarten too.

However, around noon, Hiroshi was at the company when the department head approached him: "Nohara, I'm sorry to tell you this at the last minute, but we need to discuss that case we talked about last time with the client today."

"Okay, I understand." Hiroshi nodded.

"Since we're in a rush, you can discuss this while you eat lunch." The minister looked at Hiroshi: "Lunch boxes have been prepared, come and eat with us later."

"Hmm." Hiroshi nodded, watching the captain's back, and sighed, "I'm going to have a combat lunchbox, what should I do?" Looking at his own lunchbox, Hiroshi had no choice but to take it back. Luckily, the weather wasn't hot, so it would be fine to leave it for an afternoon.

When he got home that evening, Hiroshi told everyone what had happened at noon.

"Oh, I see. So you didn't eat the lunchbox, is that right?"

"Yeah." Guangzhi nodded.

"Why don't you just ask Kawaguchi to eat your bento?" Misae looked at Hiroshi with some confusion.

“I can’t give it to him. This is a bento box that my beloved wife made especially for me,” Hiroshi said righteously.

Misae immediately became embarrassed: "Oh, come on~ Are you already drunk?"

"Is 'loving one's wife' a bad thing?" Shin-chan asked Hiroshi uncertainly.

"How could this be bad news?" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at Shin-chan, then looked at the bento box: "Heat it up for me, I'll have this bento for dinner."

"No, no, let me eat it." Misae waved her hand, smiled at Hiroshi, and said, "I heard that eating cold rice is very helpful for weight loss."

"Really?" The little ones and Hiroshi were all unsure.

"Yes, and you've been working so hard, you need to eat something hot." Misae smiled as she put the bento box in the kitchen to heat it up, and then brought out dinner.

Hiroshi chuckled, "Oh my, it really is my beloved wife~ Hahaha~"

"It was definitely bad news, wasn't it?" Shin-chan continued to look at Hiroshi, his expression utterly unpleasant.

"No, you should come and help." Mingxu pulled Xiaoxin along to help carry the dishes.

"Then please have this, honey." Hiroshi's expression froze after Misae and the kids brought out the food.

"...Could it be that we had... for lunch?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi's expression, then stared uncertainly at the dishes in front of him.

Hiroshi sighed: "Yeah... miso-simmered mackerel..."

"Wow, that's so cool! It's the same every day! Do you two have superpowers?" Shin-chan exclaimed. Mingxu looked knowing; he'd guessed right after all.

Hiroshi, holding his lunchbox which Misae had already heated up, said, "So, I guess I'll just eat the lunchbox."

"You can eat your wife's bento box now, Dad."

"Yes."

"...I didn't do anything wrong, so why do I feel this strange sense of guilt?" Misae felt like crying, this feeling was really strange.
