In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 357 BBQ Night

On a summer night, the breeze brings a hint of coolness, gently blowing through every corner of Kasukabe City. The warm yellow light from the windows of the Nohara family shines on the stone road in front of the door, making it look particularly warm. The laughter and conversation in the house are intertwined with the chirping of insects in the distance, adding a bit of vitality and energy to this night.

"Mom, when are we going to start grilling?" Shin-chan asked as he watched Mei-ya putting on the ingredients.

Meiya smiled and replied, "We can start after Dad sets up the grill. If you are free, come and help get the ingredients, or go to the yard and help Dad and Xiaoxu set up the grill."

"I'll go find Xiaoxu and the others!" After hearing this, Xiaoxin immediately ran to the yard to find his father.

"Hey, this kid just knows how to be lazy." Meiya shook her head and looked at the various ingredients on the table. Why couldn't she prepare them in advance!

In the yard, Guangzhi and Mingxu were working hard to repair the barbecue grill. They were sweating profusely, but their faces were filled with happy smiles.

"Xiao Xu, hand me the wrench and tie it tighter. The barbecue grill is almost done." Guangzhi said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Dad, here you go." After Mingxu handed the wrench in the toolbox to Guangzhi, he continued to fix the wire mesh in his hand. Guangzhi was fixing the rack below, and Mingxu was weaving the barbecue net with wire.

Originally they wanted to buy one, and then Meiya muttered that there was a barbecue grill at home, so the father and son went to find it, but the barbecue grill had not been used for a long time and was a little damaged, so they were in the process of repairing the barbecue grill. The wire mesh was rusted beyond recognition.

Xiaoxin watched for a while, felt bored, and ran away again. Xiaokui was watching TV in the house, so he simply watched it with Xiaokui and pretended to be taking care of Xiaokui.

"Hey, did I see Xiaoxin just now?" After Guangzhi finished setting up the shelf below, he turned his head to look to the side and asked Mingxu uncertainly.

"Well, he just came out and now ran back into the house." Mingxu spread his hands.

"Hey, Shin-chan! Come out! The grill is ready!" Hiroshi called out in the backyard, his voice full of anticipation and excitement. Shin-chan was eating snacks and watching TV. When he heard Hiroshi's call, he stood up suddenly, stuffed the senbei in his hand into his mouth, and rushed to the backyard like a wild horse.

"Wow, our barbecue grill, Dad, Xiaoxu, you guys are so awesome!" Xiaoxin looked at his dad with admiration, there seemed to be stars in his eyes.

"Don't think you can avoid working like this." Mingxu looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

Guangzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Xiao Xin, go and help mom get the ingredients, we can start grilling soon."

Xiao Xin agreed excitedly and ran back to the house. After a while, he and his mother moved the ingredients to the yard.

Meiya prepared a variety of food, including beef, chicken, vegetables, fruits, and Xiaoxin's favorite sausages and rice cakes. Xiaoxin was drooling as he looked at these delicacies.

"Wow, there are so many delicious foods!" Shin-chan cheered.

Hiroshi put on a white apron and a chef's hat. He was adjusting the grill to ensure that the charcoal fire could burn evenly. Misae and Mingxu moved the table out together and put the ingredients on the table. From the brightly colored vegetables to the fragrant meat, everything was mouth-watering. Shin-chan also helped to take out the ingredients.

"Dad, where did you get this suit?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi's apron and hat in surprise.

"It was bought by your mother." Guangzhi said without turning his head.

"Meiya, where's the charcoal?" After adjusting the barbecue grill, Guangzhi turned to look at Meiiya and asked.

"Ah? It wasn't you who took it?" Meiya was stunned and looked at Guangzhi in confusion.

"...So neither of you prepared any charcoal?" Mingxu asked speechlessly.

"..."

"Oh, Mom and Dad, you are so rough." Xiaoxin also pouted.

"There's nothing we can do. The ingredients aren't ready yet. You guys prepare them here first, and I'll drive out to buy them." Shaking his head, Guangzhi said to Meisai.

"Yeah." Meisai nodded, Guangzhi started the car and went out, and Xiaoxin was about to follow when he was stopped by Mingxu.

"Boy, don't even think about running away!"

"Oh my, Xiaoxu is such a jerk." Xiaoxin muttered, and had no choice but to follow everyone to prepare the various ingredients.

Soon Guangzhi came back and bought the carbon.

Guangzhi lit the charcoal fire, and wisps of green smoke began to emerge from the grill. After the charcoal burned for a while, Meiya placed the ingredients on the grill and turned them over skillfully. Soon, the air was filled with tempting aroma.

"Dad, I want to try it too!" Xiaoxin shouted excitedly. Guangzhi smiled and nodded, handed Xiaoxin a brush, and asked him to brush the barbecue with sauce.

"Be careful, don't burn yourself." Mingxu handed the prepared sauce to Xiaoxin and reminded him.

"Okay~" Xiaoxin took the brush, dipped it carefully in the sauce, and then brushed the barbecue with the sauce like his father. Although he was a little flustered at first, he gradually mastered the skills and began to skillfully flip the barbecue skewers.

The charcoal fire danced in the night, emitting a warm glow. The skewers of grilled meat sizzled on the charcoal fire, and the aroma of meat and the smoky smell of charcoal fire intertwined and filled the air.

Xiao Xin stood by, staring at the food on the grill, swallowing his saliva.

"Mom, can I eat now?" Xiao Xin asked impatiently.

Meiya smiled and said, "It's not cooked yet, Xiaoxin, wait a little longer."

"Wow, it smells so good!" Shin-chan cheered.

"Yeah." Xiaokui also stared at the barbecue and stretched out his hand.

"Xiaokui, you can't eat yet." Mingxu picked up Xiaokui from the chair and said, then handed Xiaokui a few baby biscuits. Although Xiaokui was a little reluctant, she still ate her biscuits and smiled at Mingxu.

Xiao Xin couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He picked up a skewer of freshly grilled lamb, blew on it a few times, and then took a careful bite. Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat filled his mouth, making Xiao Xin close his eyes and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Wow! It's so delicious!" Xiaoxin exclaimed loudly. He couldn't wait to pick up a new skewer and continue grilling.

Seeing this, Mingxu also picked up a string of sausages, took a bite, and said with satisfaction: "It's delicious!"

Meiya and Guangzhi also sat down and began to enjoy the delicious barbecue. The family sat around the barbecue grill, eating delicious food and chatting, and their laughter echoed throughout the yard.

Seeing the two children eating so happily, Misae and Hiroshi also smiled with satisfaction.

From time to time, Mingxu and his friends would pass a skewer to Guangzhi and Meiya who were grilling, so that they could eat it too, otherwise the taste would be different after it got cold.

After eating for a while, Xiao Xin saw Xiao Bai lying on the side. He stood up, holding a sausage, and ran to Xiao Bai.

"Xiaobai, do you want to eat too?" Xiaoxin asked with a smile.

Xiaobai wagged his tail and looked eagerly at the sausage in Xiaoxin's hand.

Xiaoxin handed the sausage to Xiaobai, who immediately wolfed it down. Seeing how happy Xiaobai was eating, Xiaoxin also smiled happily.

"This kid, he fed Xiaobai before me this time." Mingxu smiled when he saw Xiaoxin's actions, and continued to feed Guangzhi and Meiya.

As time went on, the food on the grill dwindled, but the laughter and conversation grew. They talked about the latest interesting events and shared their daily lives.

Hiroshi told everyone about the fun he had when he was a kid and had a barbecue with his friends, which made everyone laugh. Misae gently stroked Aoi's head, and Aoi was about to fall asleep. Misae told her a bedtime story to coax her to sleep.

Xiaoxin ate the kebabs and played with Xiaobai. Mingxu recorded with a video camera and took photos of the food on the grill, the happy smiles of his family, and the twinkling stars in the night sky.

The barbecue night was drawing to a close, but the family was still connected as they sat together, sharing the remaining ingredients and drinks.

"I'm so happy today!" Xiaoxin said with emotion.

"Let's wait for Mengya to come back and do it again," Mingxu suggested.

"Agree!" Everyone smiled.

As the night grew deeper, everyone helped to move things back into the house. After taking a shower and washing up, they returned to the bedroom.

Xiaoxin was lying on his bed, thinking about today's barbecue party, with a happy smile on his face.

"Okay, go to sleep." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin's expression and knew that he was still savoring the moment, so he said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiaoxin closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

In his dream, Xiao Xin also dreamed that he, Xiao Xu, Xiao Kui, his parents, and Xiao Bai were having a barbecue in the yard, and there was constant laughter in his dream...

This night, the family spent an unforgettable barbecue night. They enjoyed the happiness brought by the delicious food and felt the love and warmth among family members.
