In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1383 Guangzhi's Outpost Chronicle

Inside the Futaba Trading Company, Hiroshi walked out of his office, looking somewhat disappointed.

"senior."

"What was the result?" Yumi and Kawaguchi asked Hiroshi with concern.

Hiroshi sat in his chair and sighed, "Sigh~ The minister has formally brought up the matter of me being sent abroad."

"Huh? Go, where to?" Kawaguchi asked, somewhat uncertainly.

“Nepal,” Hiroshi replied with another sigh.

"Nepal!" The two were startled, looking at Hiroshi uncertainly; "How many years will it take?"

"Ah, oh, he said he'd be gone for a few years. It's because when I heard I was going to Nepal, I suddenly thought of my family and my mind went completely blank. Sigh~" Hiroshi sat in his office, his face full of worry. How could he, at his current position, still have to be sent abroad?

"Hmm, Nepal. It'll be at least two years before you come back. Speaking of which, when you were sent to Mexico before, you came back quickly, didn't you? Maybe it'll be the same this time," Kawaguchi comforted him.

"Sigh~" Hiroshi sighed. After get off work, walking home, looking at the streetlights, he thought, "Nepal, this is different from being sent to other regions. It's overseas again, it's really troublesome. My family will be very sad. Sigh~ How should I tell them?!" Hiroshi was on the verge of a breakdown.

He walked home step by step, his steps heavy: "I'm back."

"You're back."

"Dad, you're back." Mingxu and the others also poked their heads out.

"I've been waiting for you for so long, you stinky-feet weirdo! The source of your stinky feet must be completely eliminated!" With that, Shin-chan rushed over, grabbed Hiroshi's sock, and ripped it off. The sock flew off and landed on Misae's head.

"Ah! Seriously, what are you doing?!" Misae hurriedly threw her socks away, then grabbed Shin-chan and started scolding him.

Looking at the scene before him, Hiroshi felt dejected: "Will I never see a scene like this again?"

"Dad, what's wrong?" Mingxu noticed that Guangzhi's mood was off and asked curiously.

"Ah, no." Hiroshi shook his head and went back to his bedroom to change his clothes. "Although I can't bring myself to tell the children, I still have to tell Misae." After thinking it over, Hiroshi went to the kitchen and looked at Misae, who was tidying up. "Misa."

"Huh?" Looking at Hiroshi, Misae said with a smile, "I made oden today."

"Oh, wow, this is a feast! It looks delicious. I used to eat this with Misae all the time." Looking at the food on the table, Hiroshi's thoughts drifted away.

Thinking back to that time, even without children, it was still quite nice. But as my position rose higher, the family grew larger—children, a dog, and the house became increasingly warm. However, if I went to Nepal, I wouldn't be able to eat this kind of food.

"Waaaaah~ Misae!" Hiroshi hugged Misae tightly, his emotions running high.

"Huh? What's wrong? Don't scare me like that, okay?" Misae looked at Hiroshi behind her and said, somewhat puzzled.

"No, no, no, actually I have something important to say," Hiroshi said nervously.

"Something important?" Misae was taken aback. Had something happened again? Just as they were about to speak, Shin-chan ran in.

"Mom, your favorite TV series is about to start! Let's eat quickly!"

"Ah! I almost forgot about that. Let's eat quickly!" Misae didn't even care about Hiroshi for a moment and pulled him out. The family sat down at the table and began to eat.

Mingxu looked at Guangzhi, who was in low spirits, and after thinking it over, he didn't say anything. It was better for his father to say some things himself.

A TV series quickly appeared: "A shocking production about an extramarital affair during a business trip!"

"..." Mingxu fell silent. Mom, no, why do you guys like watching this stuff now?

The TV continued playing: "It's all because you were cheating on me that I started cheating too!"

"..." Hiroshi fell silent. What was this?!

Miya looked at him and said, "This drama is really good. The husband cheats on his wife while he's away on a business trip, and because of that, their whole family ends up in chaos."

"Every man has a tendency to cheat on his wife when he's away on business trips!" the TV voice announced at just the right moment.

Misae agreed: "That's right, if we hadn't gone on that business trip, this wouldn't have happened!"

Looking at her, Hiroshi fell silent: Oh dear, this is making it harder and harder for me to speak.

"Does Dad also want to sneak a snack while on a business trip?" Shin-chan suddenly asked Hiroshi curiously.

"Hey! You kid! Do you know what you're saying?" Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan speechlessly. You little rascal!

Looking at Guangzhi's reaction, Mingxu thought, "Oh no, could it be that Dad is going on another business trip?"

Misae, oblivious to Hiroshi's reaction, looked at him and said, "Honey, why don't you take Shin-chan to take a bath?"

"Ah, let's go, let's go~" Shin-chan happily followed Hiroshi to the bathroom.

"Xiao Xu, aren't you going?" Mei Ya asked, looking at Ming Xu.

"I'm not going. I showered when I came back this afternoon," Mingxu shrugged.

"Oh, okay then." Misae nodded, not paying much attention.

In the bathroom, Hiroshi and Shin-chan were playing together. Looking at the lively Shin-chan, Hiroshi sighed inwardly, "Will I never be able to bathe with Shin-chan again?"

After taking a bath and changing into his pajamas, Shin-chan was pulled into the bedroom by Mingxu to read a storybook. Seeing the three little ones so quiet, Misae looked at Hiroshi and asked, "What important thing do you want to tell me?"

"Oh, is that so..." Before Hiroshi could finish speaking, Misae immediately preemptively said, "If you're asking about increasing your allowance, then forget it!"

"It's not that kind of thing, I want to talk about something more important!" Hiroshi looked at Misae helplessly, thinking, "So that's all you care about me?"

"What's going on?" Misae asked Hiroshi, puzzled.

"The minister asked me to be sent abroad alone, on long-term business trips," Hiroshi sighed and said directly.

"Just like the TV series we were watching!" The two little ones couldn't help but peek out; they had been eavesdropping as well.

"I would never do that!" Hiroshi rolled his eyes at them.

"Ah, where are you going?" Misae asked nervously.

Hiroshi sighed: "We're going to Nepal."

"Huh?!" Misae and Akira exclaimed in surprise.

Shin-chan was a little puzzled: "Where is Nepal? Is it a sticky place?"

Mingxu explained, "Nepal is a country near India, so it's considered foreign territory."

"Oh, it's so far away, how many years will it take?" Misae asked worriedly.

"It will take at least two years."

"Ah! It's been so long!" Misae immediately became worried.

"Sigh~ If I'm not home, you guys might feel lonely," Hiroshi said dejectedly.

Misae suddenly realized, "But! We can see each other during summer vacation and Chinese New Year anyway, and we can also video chat with each other online. Even if we go to Nepal, we won't feel lonely~"

"Huh? Misae!"

"Honey! The mortgage, our living expenses, the cost of raising the baby, the feed for Shiro—the fate of our whole family rests on your shoulders! Oh! And we need to get several life insurance policies too, in case something happens to you. Hang in there, honey!" Misae hugged Hiroshi and shouted.

"Dad! Are you going to work at the sticky cafe?" Shin-chan scratched his head and looked at Hiroshi.

"Alright, alright, stop making this up. It's not like we can't go. Once a week is too much. Once a month is fine too." Mingxu looked at them helplessly. "It's not like our family can't afford it."

"Well, that's true." The group scratched their heads. "So, Dad, keep it up, you might be back soon."

"Sigh~" Hiroshi looked at them and sighed again.

The next day, after arriving at the company, the department head burst out laughing upon hearing Hiroshi's explanation and then explained the situation to him.

"Huh? I misunderstood?" Hiroshi exclaimed in surprise.

The minister continued, "The business trip is no longer to Nepal. We're going to hold a Nepalese products exhibition at a department store in Akita, so we're sending you to Akita on a business trip for a month."

"Going to Akita for a month!" Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness.

"Yes, because Akita is your hometown, so you should be quite familiar with everything." The minister continued to explain, "This will make your path smoother, little brother, good luck." The minister patted Hiroshi on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"Oh, I see. Oh dear, because all I heard at the time was that it was going to Nepal..." Hiroshi felt incredibly embarrassed.

When I got home that evening, I explained the situation to my family, and Misae breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, it wasn't Nepal."

"Yes, it was entirely my own mistake." Hiroshi's mood had improved considerably.

"Don't scare me like that, you made me unable to sleep all night," Misae complained to Hiroshi.

"Sorry sorry."

"That's really great. So, where will you be staying?" Misae asked curiously.

"He probably lives at his grandfather's house," Mingxu said casually.

“Yes, that place isn’t far from Dad’s, which is perfect,” Hiroshi said with a smile.

"Wow~ Is Dad going to turn back into Grandpa's child?" Shin-chan asked Hiroshi in surprise.

"Oh, hey, I've always been Grandpa's child."

"Sigh~" Shin-chan suddenly sighed.

"Hmm, what's wrong with him?" Everyone was puzzled, looking at Shin-chan's appearance.

“Ah, I understand. Even if it's just Akita, that child will feel lonely,” Hiroshi said involuntarily.

"That's true." Everyone nodded.

While Hiroshi was in the bathroom, Shin-chan poked his head out and said, "Dad, there's something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

"I want to watch things when Dad isn't home, so I want Dad's things!" Shin-chan said to Hiroshi.

"Shin-chan, you really do get lonely, don't you? I know, I'll give you anything." Hiroshi said without hesitation, looking at Shin-chan.

"Ah. This one! A photo album!" Shin-chan excitedly pulled it out.

Mingxu stared speechlessly at the other side. Sure enough, he knew that kid had no good intentions.

"Ah! When did you find it?!" Hiroshi exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the one Dad hid in the bookshelf!" Shin-chan exclaimed excitedly.

"Ah! Oh dear, why can't I give it to you? I'm taking it to Akita!" Hiroshi hurriedly snatched it back.

"Ugh!" Shin-chan puffed out his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

Mingxu pulled Xiaoxin away, saying, "You should just forget about this thing."

A few days later, it was time for Hiroshi to go on his business trip.

"Then I'm off!" Hiroshi said with a smile, pulling his suitcase.

Misae said with concern, "Even though it's much closer than Nepal, you still need to take care of yourself."

"Okay." Hiroshi nodded.

"No snacking while on a business trip!" Shin-chan shouted again.

"I told you I don't know how!" Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan speechlessly. That's all you remember, isn't it!

"Dad, keep it up!" Mingxu encouraged Guangzhi.

"Yes, yes. Asahi, Shin, Shiro, Misae, Himawari, everyone take care." Hiroshi looked at everyone and said gently.

"Don't worry, leave everything at home to me!" Misae nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'm off then." Hiroshi pulled his suitcase and was about to leave.

"Welcome back!" Shin-chan suddenly shouted.

"I'm back~" Hiroshi called out instinctively as he turned around, then realized what he meant and said, "Hey~"

"You should be careful on the road!" Mingxu said helplessly to Xiaoxin.

"You could say that," Shin-chan nodded.

"Then I really have to go~" Hiroshi said goodbye to them again.

"Be careful on the road!" *3

"Yeah!"

"Wang~"
