Chapter 1394 Why, Why
That day, Hiroshi was walking outside with the two little ones.
Shin-chan seemed a little downcast, muttering to himself, "Sundays are the best, I don't have to think about work at all."
"Where did you come from, this office worker? Oh well, by the way, what do you want for lunch?"
"Cookies!" This time, he didn't hesitate at all.
"...Cookies are a snack, right? I asked about lunch." Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan helplessly.
Shin-chan ignored Hiroshi and suddenly saw a pile of gummy candies placed in front of a shop not far away. He ran over excitedly and exclaimed, "Wow, so many gummy candies!"
“Gummy candies are also snacks,” Hiroshi said again, sounding helpless.
"There are grapes and grapefruits, which look completely different from grapes, so why are they called grapefruits? Why? Why? Dad, why~" Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi behind him and asked curiously.
"Oh, it's called grapefruit? It's because its fruit grows in clusters, looking like a bunch of grapes when it's on the tree, that's why it's called grapefruit," Hiroshi explained to Shin-chan.
"Oh, Dad is so smart!" Shin-chan praised Hiroshi immediately after getting the answer.
"Hahaha, because I'm an adult, I know much more than you do." Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan with a smug expression, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Mingxu raised an eyebrow. "Wait, weren't we about to have lunch? Why are we suddenly talking about this?"
"Then why is the oil drum red? Why, why? Dad, why?"
"Um, well, this... Ah! It's a UFO!" Hiroshi, not knowing why, turned around and shouted, pointing at the sky.
"UFO? Where is it?" Shin-chan immediately turned his head to look, and Hiroshi also took the opportunity to search on his phone: "Why are the oil drums red? Oh, I see."
Mingxu looked at Guangzhi helplessly: "Dad, there's no reason why, it's just that red is more eye-catching."
"..." Hiroshi fell silent. Xiaoxu, you're being a bit too wise after the event.
Shin-chan then turned to Hiroshi and said, "Dad, there's no UFO at all."
"Uh, no, no, I meant clothes, clothes! There was someone wearing really nice clothes just now," Hiroshi quickly explained.
"Hmm? You mean UFOs, right?" Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi with a strange expression.
"Anyway, why are oil drums red? Because red is eye-catching!" Hiroshi answered Shin-chan's previous question.
"Ah, I see." Shin-chan nodded. Hiroshi, seeing that the question had been answered, pulled Shin-chan forward, afraid that Shin-chan might ask some other random questions.
Just then, passing by the railway tracks, looking at the stones laid beneath them, Shin-chan asked curiously, "Why are there so many stones on the railway tracks? Why? Why? Dad, why?"
Hiroshi's lips twitched: "Why are you asking so many questions today?"
“This is what’s all the rage lately.” Xiaoxin looked at Mingxu: “Xiaoxu, right?”
"I think so," Mingxu said, shrugging.
"This thing's all the rage now..." Hiroshi was utterly speechless.
"Hurry up, the stones on the rails," Shin-chan urged.
"Ah, oh, well..." Hiroshi hesitated, wondering why this was happening. He looked behind him at Akira, "Akira, help me!"
Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi, who was hesitating, and raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that you're an adult but don't know the answer?"
"I...I know! There's a very rare bird!" Hiroshi used his tricks again.
Shin-chan looked over and asked, "Where is it?"
"It's simple, it's for shock absorption," Mingxu said, shrugging.
"Oh, oh." Hiroshi nodded.
"What's so special about that bird? It's just a pigeon." Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi with disdain. His father really had no knowledge.
"No, that's not right either, Shin-chan. There's another one next to the pigeon, that's a cuckoo." Mingxu pointed to a cuckoo not far away: "This one is quite rare."
"Oh~" Shin-chan nodded immediately.
"Ahem, and about that topic we were just discussing, the stones are laid down to reduce the vibration of the train!"
"Oh, I see. So why is a giraffe's neck so long?"
"Huh? This?" Hiroshi was genuinely confused. What kind of question was this?
"A long time ago, giraffes' necks were of normal length. However, due to geographical factors, they ate most of the grass and leaves at the base of the trees. Now, with no food, they looked up at the trees, but couldn't reach them. To survive, their necks began to change, slowly growing longer, which allowed them to reach the leaves on the trees. This is why giraffes have long necks," Mingxu replied, seeing Guangzhi's troubled expression.
"Oh, oh~" Shin-chan nodded, so that's how it is. Hiroshi also breathed a sigh of relief, and then led them forward to a shop where they ordered three dishes: "Three chicken curries."
"Would you like rice or flatbread as a side dish?" the waiter asked as he approached.
"Then let's make the flatbread," Hiroshi said after a moment's thought.
"Why?" Shin-chan asked instinctively.
"Um, would you like three orders of flatbread?"
"I want white rice," Shin-chan said, shaking his head.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I confused you." Hiroshi apologized to the waiter, who nodded and turned to leave.
The fast food arrived quickly, and Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan: "But it's a good thing that the kid keeps asking why."
"Mmm." Shin-chan nodded.
"You should always be brave enough to ask questions about things you don't understand!" Hiroshi said earnestly.
At this moment, a middle-aged man behind me kept apologizing: "Yes, I'm really, really sorry, I'm truly sorry for what happened. Sigh~"
"Working on Sundays must be tough," Hiroshi sighed upon seeing the other person.
Seeing this, Xiaoxin was about to go over when Mingxu grabbed him: "Asking why is a good thing, but asking casually is not. The other party is obviously apologizing because of work. Are you going to go over now to poke at their heart?"
"Why?" Xiaoxin scratched his head. Mingxu's lips twitched. Goodness, you have the nerve to ask why?
"If you broke Nana's things and then apologized to her, how would you feel if someone came over and asked you why you apologized?" Mingxu didn't answer, but asked in return.
"Uh..." Shin-chan fell silent for a moment. It seemed he didn't feel the pain because the boomerang hadn't hit him.
After finishing their meal, they went home. However, on the way, they encountered a couple arguing. Hiroshi's lips twitched. What's going on today?
"Chihuahuas are arguing." Shin-chan said instinctively as he watched the arguing couple over there.
"Hey, you know what, it really does look like it," Mingxu said after taking a look.
Hiroshi reached out and grabbed Shin-chan: "Come on, Shin-chan, let's go home."
Seeing Xiaoxin about to go up, Mingxu reached out to stop him: "Don't interrupt. Some things aren't for asking why. You need to understand what I just said. If you're talking to Nana-chan again..." Before Mingxu could finish speaking, Xiaoxin quickly walked out, seemingly understanding the situation to some extent.
However, before they could even pass the couple, they were stopped by them: "Come and judge for us! Thin slices of toast are clearly tastier, but she insists that thick slices are better!"
"I just love the after-parts!"
"Thin slices taste better!"
"ah.."
"Why do thinner slices taste better?" Shin-chan asked curiously.
"Well, because the sandwiches she made for me before were made with thin slices, and I really thought they were delicious," the man said instinctively.
"Huh?" The woman was taken aback.
"Then why does my sister think thicker slices are better?" Shin-chan asked the woman curiously.
"Because my favorite thing is the red bean toast he makes for me himself," the woman said, looking at the man.
"..." The father and his two sons looked at each other, wow, what a huge dose of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
"Fumi."
"Guangzhi".
"Huh? Dad's name." Shin-chan subconsciously looked at Hiroshi, but Hiroshi quickly covered his mouth and pulled him towards home. Good heavens, they actually ran into someone with the same name.
On the way, Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan and advised him, "Shin-chan, not everything is something you can keep asking why?"
"I understand." Xiao Xin nodded; what Xiao Xu said just now really resonated with him.
"Right, you must have been asked that question yourself and not being able to answer it, right?"
"No." Shin-chan shook his head without hesitation.
"Then why did you suddenly eat the meat bun that Dad painstakingly saved for last a while ago? Why? Why?! Why?!"
"Because I want to eat."
"Oh, then why don't you ever clean up your toys properly after you've finished playing with them? Why? Why?"
"Because I don't want to say." Shin-chan said calmly.
Mingxu rolled his eyes at him and punched him. Xiaoxin lay down and said, "Dad, sometimes, this thing is the most useful."
"It really is true." Hiroshi's lips twitched. Well, combat strength is really useful.
"Hey, Shin-chan, Asahi, Hiroshi-san." At that moment, Nanako passed by and called out to them.
"Hello, Sister Nana," Mingxu said politely.
"Nana-chan~" Shin-chan instantly perked up.
"Hello," Hiroshi greeted him.
"You're all going out together?" Nana asked curiously, looking at the three of them.
"It's Sunday today, and Dad and Xiaoxu are playing with me," Xiaoxin said without hesitation.
"You little rascal..."
"Where's Nana-chan?" Shin-chan asked curiously.
"I just went shopping. I've wanted this hat for a long time," Nanako said with a smile, picking up a hat.
"Wow~ Hurry up and try it on~" Shin-chan urged.
"Haha~ How is it?" Nana smiled slightly, put it on, and looked at Shin-chan, asking.
"It's super, super, super perfect for you!" Shin-chan said without hesitation.
"Thank you, Shin-chan." Nanako smiled at Shin-chan.
"Sister Nana, why are you so beautiful? Why, why?" Shin-chan started again.
"Haha~ Don't be like that." Nanako said a little embarrassed.
Shin-chan immediately blushed: "An answer that doesn't specify is also good~"
“…” Mingxu and Guangzhi exchanged a glance, speechless: “What a hypocrite.”
"Ah~ Why is my heart beating so fast right now? Why, why~ Sister~ Why~"
"Haha~" Nana walked with them on a road, holding Shin-chan's hand in one hand, her face full of smiles.
Behind them, Hiroshi and Mingxu looked at each other and sighed.
