In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1382 Missing the Special Sale

That day, Misae was preparing lunch in the kitchen, making fried noodles, muttering to herself, "After the kids finish lunch, I can catch the 2 pm limited-time sale! Hahaha~" Looking at the time, she realized she still had time!

"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xin! Lunch is ready!" Misae called out to the two little ones in the living room after serving the fried noodles.

"Hahaha~" Shin-chan is playing Action Kamen vs. Monsters.

"Wow! Earth is in crisis, sir! Go into battle mode immediately!"

"Ey."

"Yes, sir~" Mingxu said calmly, feeling so bored~

"You two, come and have lunch!" Misae called out to them again.

"Okay, I understand." Mingxu nodded and stood up.

"Ah~ This is really exciting! If this keeps up, the Earth might be destroyed." Shin-chan shook his head and said.

"Yeah." Xiaokui nodded in agreement.

"Stop talking, hurry up and eat your noodles." Misae looked at them helplessly and urged them.

Just then, the television started playing a sound, and Misae was startled, instinctively looking over at it.

"When children are having fun, never force them to stop. Also, mothers often tell their children to hurry up, hurry up, hurry up for their own convenience, but this will absolutely not work. Remember that!"

"..." Mingxu watched the TV in silence. Goodness, this thing came at just the right time.

Misae also hurriedly turned off the TV, looking at the three little ones with some embarrassment.

"Didn't I tell you I'm very busy right now?" Xiao Xin felt confident after hearing the expert's words.

"Listen to me, because we're going out after lunch." Misae was trying to lure Shin-chan with the promise of going out.

The little news reporter immediately became interested: "Going out? Where to?"

“Bai, department store,” Misae said somewhat reluctantly.

"So it's Mom's clothes sale." Shin-chan immediately saw through Misae's idea, and the other two nodded in agreement. If they were going there, they were probably going to the sale.

"...You actually know everything..." Misae was momentarily embarrassed.

"Why don't we just go out and have lunch at a family restaurant?" Shin-chan looked defeated by Misae.

"But the fried noodles are already cooked, how can we eat out? Hmm, a family restaurant...?!" Misae suddenly thought of something and ran into the bedroom. The three little ones looked at her with some confusion, not knowing what Misae was up to.

"Welcome to Benny Rabbit Restaurant~" Misae, dressed up as a bunny girl, stood in front of them, holding a tray in her hand.

"..." The three children instinctively took a step back, looking at Misae uncertainly; "Mommy, are you feeling unwell?"

"Mom, is it really that bad?" Mingxu looked at her uncertainly. Was this place really going to be risked so that everyone could have a meal?

"It's a family restaurant game, you guys are all guests here to eat," Misae said with a grin.

"Huh?" The two little ones looked at Misae in confusion, wondering what she was going to do.

'Hmm, if I use this trick to get them to finish the fried noodles, I can barely make it to the limited-time sale.' Misae thought to herself, her expression becoming even more eager as she looked at the two little ones.

"Alright then." Shin-chan looked at Misae, his eyes darting around before he agreed.

"Huh? Uh, this guest's restaurant is over here." Misae looked at Shin-chan, who agreed but then walked outside, and was a little confused.

“But we need a car to get to the family restaurant.” With that, Shin-chan dragged Mingxu outside. Mingxu shrugged and gave Misae a look that said, “Good luck to you.”

They came in quickly: "Beep beep~" Mingxu was about to park anywhere when Xiaoxin immediately shouted, "Ugh, how annoying! Why is the parking lot here so hard to find a spot?! Let's park here!" Then he dragged her in another direction. They hadn't gone far when Xiaoxin complained again, "That car over there looks so fancy. It makes our food look so cheap. Let's park somewhere else. Okay, this is nice. But we can't park here; this is for light vehicles only!"

After some effort, Shin-chan successfully parked the car: "Okay, good. Parked here, okay, although it's a bit far, this should be fine."

"That's good enough, isn't it..." Misae looked at them speechlessly, then turned to Mingxu: 'Xiaoxu, hurry up!'

'OK, OK.' Mingxu nodded and pulled Xiaoxin: 'Alright, that's enough. Stop talking. Tick-tock, we're in the restaurant!'

"Ouch~" Shin-chan puffed out his cheeks.

"Welcome to our restaurant. How many guests do you have?" Misae greeted them immediately.

"The bright and handsome Xiao Xu, the 5-year-old who is increasingly appreciating the deliciousness of cilantro, the baby in diapers, and the dog on the outdoor seat." Xiao Xin introduced everyone present without hesitation before stopping.

"...Outdoor seating, come with me, I'll take your seats." Misae said, about to lead them to eat.

"Mom! You should ask if I smoke or not!" Shin-chan corrected again.

"I'm sorry, smoking is strictly prohibited in our restaurant," Misae replied promptly.

"Wow, you're keeping up with the trend!" Shin-chan scratched his head, feeling like he'd been outdone by his mother.

"Can we order now?" Shin-chan blinked, looking at Misae with anticipation.

"Of course, please wait a moment." Misae tried her best to maintain the tone of a restaurant waitress, but her heart was already pounding, wondering how to get them to finish eating quickly. She quickly took a piece of paper from the tray and handed it over, "This is today's menu."

Shin-chan took the menu and studied it seriously: "Hmm... I want this, this, and this! Oh, and add a fried egg on top, and it has to be a sunny-side-up egg, fried on one side only." Shin-chan looked at Misae and said earnestly.

Mingxu sighed, looking at the dish of fried noodles on the table, and said helplessly, "That's fine, keep it simple."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you right away!" Misae forced a smile, turned around and went back to the kitchen. Looking at the already fried noodles, she reheated them, then fried an egg and brought it out to the table.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Here are your dishes. Please enjoy."

Shin-chan looked at the fried noodles on the table and started eating.

Seeing them start eating, Misae breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that her plan had finally worked.

Time ticked by, and Misae glanced at the clock on the wall, her anxiety rising sharply. She took a deep breath and decided to press on: "Dear guests, if you finish your meal now, we'll be giving you a surprise dessert!"

"Dessert?" Shin-chan turned his head, his eyes lighting up instantly. "What kind of dessert?"

"Pudding!" Misae blurted out, immediately regretting not suggesting a more complicated dessert. However, the trick worked; Shin-chan immediately returned to his seat and continued eating with gusto. Mingxu shook his head, but silently cooperated, speeding up his pace.

Finally, within the time limit, the three little ones finished all the fried noodles. Misae handed them pudding, letting them eat it in a few bites before she practically dragged them into the car, started the engine, and sped away. "The department store sale, here I come!" she shouted in her heart, completely unaware that Shin-chan in the back seat was secretly using her phone to check ratings for nearby family restaurants.

Mingxu glanced at it; it seemed that Xiaoxin hadn't eaten enough.

When Misae arrived, seeing that there was no sign of a sale around her, she anxiously asked the staff, "Where's the sale?"

"Um, the sale was yesterday..." the waiter said somewhat awkwardly.

"It was yesterday, yesterday, yesterday..." Misae's face immediately fell.

"Don't be so disappointed, Mom. Let's go to a family restaurant," Shin-chan said, shrugging at Misae.

"I'm not going to the family restaurant anymore!" Misae shouted unhappily.

The three children looked at each other, sighed, and decided, "Oh well, let's just leave it at that. It's Mom's fault for remembering the time wrong."
