Chapter 1527 My Little Radish (Part 2)
Chapter 1527 My Little Radish (Part 2)
However, after only three days, Shin-chan had already forgotten about his little Radish.
Mingxu watched speechlessly as Xiaobai watered the seeds in the yard and occasionally let them bask in the sun. After all these methods, the seeds successfully sprouted. Seeing the seeds sprout, Xiaobai excitedly shouted at them.
"Alright, alright, I know, Shin-chan, Shiro wants you to take him for a walk quickly." Misae called out casually into the house, not paying any attention, as she was still hanging out the laundry.
"Go if you want to," Shin-chan shouted nonchalantly.
"Honestly, hurry up and put it on!" Misae shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Honestly, Shiro is so willful." Shin-chan came out and saw Shiro shouting at the flowerpot from before. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he went over and then cried out in alarm, "Mommy, Mommy, something terrible has happened! The most serious situation in the world!"
"What's wrong? What happened?" Misae rushed over, while Mingxu calmly leaned on the wooden platform watching the scene. "It's just that the seeds have sprouted, and you only just noticed?"
"Uh..." Shin-chan's expression turned slightly awkward.
However, she quickly concealed her feelings and looked at Misae with a smug expression: "Mom, look, my little Radish has sprouted! It seems my love has reached them!"
"That's right, we must love them even more. Come on, hurry up and give them some water," Misae said with a smile, not denying Shin-chan's words.
"Oh, right!" Xiaoxin nodded, but instead of grabbing the watering can in the yard, he ran to the kitchen, took out a bottle of Bixue (a type of Chinese liquor) while Mingxu looked on in confusion, and then ran back to the yard.
"Wait, you're not thinking of using Bixue to water the plants, are you?" Mingxu asked Xiaoxin uncertainly.
"Yes." Xiaoxin nodded, opened the Bixue bottle and was about to pour it out.
"Wait! This thing can't be used!" Misae hurriedly stopped him. "That's such a waste!"
"You stingy bastard!" Shin-chan shouted in dissatisfaction.
"That's not how it works. If you pour this down, they'll be terrified, and they won't be able to stand Bixue's water; they'll wither away," Mingxu explained to Xiaoxin.
“Yes, they only like plain water,” Misae nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Shin-chan nodded, then sneaked out of the kitchen. Seeing that Misae was no longer around, he shushed Mingxu and Shiro before looking at his little Radish: "Look! This is specially prepared mineral water!"
He then started watering the plants with mineral water.
Xiao Bai's mouth twitched as he watched, thinking what a waste. Ming Xu looked at the clouds in the sky, too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Xin.
So, after this, Shin-chan forgot about it again until the seedlings grew taller and taller. Misae looked at the seedlings in front of her and called out to Shin-chan, "Shin-chan, I think it would be better to pull out a few."
"What? This is something that took a long time to grow up!" Shin-chan immediately shook his head.
"There's no other way. If we want to produce healthy Radishes, it's better to reduce the number of them. This is called preserving growth space. We keep the larger and healthier ones and remove the others," Misae explained.
“Yes, that way the plants will grow better, and they’ll look nicer if you give them to Sister Nana.” Mingxu nodded in agreement.
"Ah~ my lovely little Radish~ how cruel~" Shin-chan was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, I'll add these to the miso soup and eat them. Shin-chan, come and water the plants." With that, Misae went to prepare.
Xiao Xin responded and went to prepare the tap water.
Seeing Xiao Kui's eager expression, Mingxu suppressed his urge and then instructed her to help pull the plants, plucking one at a time, leaving about five seedlings. After pulling out about four stalks, he placed them aside, where a small seedling had already sprouted underneath.
Shin-chan brought over the water and looked at the seedlings on the ground with heartache in his eyes. Misae, on the other hand, looked at Himawari and smiled, "Did Himawari pull these out? That's great!"
"Hehe~" Xiao Kui immediately tilted her head and laughed.
Shin-chan looked at his Radish and shouted again, "Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on!"
However, only two days later, Shin-chan forgot his promise.
"I'm going out to play!" With that, Xiaoxin ran outside, completely ignoring his seedling. Xiaobai had no choice but to help take care of it, and Mingxu also came over from time to time to help look after it.
When the time came, Misae looked at the radishes that had already emerged from the soil and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! They've already grown! Shin-chan, come here for a second!"
Shin-chan scratched his head, walked over, saw the radish in the pot, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow~ My little Radish has grown up!"
"It's ready to eat now, isn't it? We'll add it to the salad tonight," Misae said with a smile, looking at the five radishes in front of her.
"No, this one! I'm going to give it to Nana-chan!" Shin-chan picked one out and pointed to it, shouting. He could already imagine Nana-chan's reaction when she saw the little Radish he had given her.
Mingxu waved his hand, shattering Xiaoxin's fantasy: "Think about it yourself, how many days did you actually participate in planting? If it weren't for Xiaobai taking care of them, do you think these little radishes would still be alive? Shouldn't you thank Xiaobai first?"
Shin-chan blinked, looked at the bright green radish greens in the pot, then at Shiro who was squatting beside him with his tongue sticking out, and suddenly broke into a big smile, hugging Shiro's neck tightly: "Shiro, thank you for taking care of Little Radish! You are truly my best friend!"
The little white dog yelped twice as it was being strangled, but its tail wagged happily incessantly.
Misae laughed and said, "That's right, Shin-chan. Planting requires patience and perseverance. We're really grateful to Shiro for this. But it's good that it grew at all. How are you planning to give it to Nana-chan?"
Shin-chan immediately stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and said in a serious tone, "I want to wash the biggest and prettiest one clean, wrap it in pretty paper, and then personally hand it to Nana-chan, telling her that this is the 'Radis of Love' that we worked hard to grow together!"
Mingxu added from the side, "Don't forget to tell Nana that Xiaobai did most of the care work, so you can't steal the credit."
Shin-chan wrinkled his nose, but still nodded: "I know, I'll say 'This was planted by Shiro and me,' and then Nana-chan will praise Shiro too!" After saying that, he carefully pulled the radish he had chosen out of the soil. The soil fell away, revealing the round little radish underneath, which smelled of fresh earth.
Shin-chan excitedly held up the radish and shouted, "Look how cute it is! Nana-chan will definitely like it!"
As he spoke, he took Little Radish and went inside to find a bag.
Mingxu and Meiya looked at Xiaoxin's expression, helplessly shrugged, and pulled up the remaining radishes, placing them in the kitchen.
Shin-chan quickly chose a bag, packed the contents, and took it to find Nana.
However, judging from his appearance after returning, Nana was quite satisfied with the gift this time.
