In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 799 Digging Bamboo Shoots

"Come, we're going to dig a lot of bamboo shoots today!" Standing in front of the bamboo garden, Meiya looked at the few people and shouted.

"Come on, come on!" everyone shouted in unison.

"Xiaobai, you must find the bamboo shoots carefully." Xiaoxin looked at Xiaobai and said.

"Oh~" Xiaobai nodded.

"He has already received special training at home." Meisai said with a smile: "At home, Xiaoxu and Xiaoxin have trained Xiaobai to start looking for bamboo shoots. This is all for the purpose of digging bamboo shoots."

"There was even special training..." Guangzhi was speechless when he heard this.

"But dogs must not eat bamboo shoots." Meiya said and looked at Xiaobai and warned.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai, I will eat all the bamboo shoots you find." Xiaoxin said while touching Xiaobai's head, not noticing Xiaobai's speechless look at all.

"The most important thing is that I really want to meet Miss Takeko as soon as possible." Shin-chan said and started twisting his body again.

"The bamboo shoot digging expert who was selected as Miss Bamboo Shoots, Miss Digging Wild Bamboo! She will come and teach us how to dig them in person. Hehehe~"

"Digging bamboo shoots~" Shin-chan and Hiroshi both showed lewd smiles on their faces.

"I really can't stand you guys." Meiya rolled her eyes at them. Mingxu on the side showed a strange smile on his face. Hehe, you are an expert, but are you sure you noticed the time?

"Is that Mrs. Nohara who is here to dig bamboo shoots?" a voice came. Several people were startled and turned to look. They saw an old woman standing in front of them with a bamboo basket on her back and a hoe in her hand.

"Yes." Meiya nodded.

Grandma looked at them and laughed: "Hehehe, please give us your advice."

"Grandma, are you from the farm? Thank you for your guidance." Meiya looked at the other person and greeted her.

"Hello, mother-in-law." Mingxu looked at the other party and greeted her.

Xiaoxin also introduced himself: "My name is Nohara Shinnosuke, and everyone says that my personality is as refreshing and crisp as a bamboo shoot."

Grandma looked at the two little ones and smiled. One was steady and the other was naughty. She smiled at Mingxu and asked Xiaoxin, "You are Xiaoxin. You seem to have your own ideas at such a young age."

"Where is Miss Bamboo?" Shin-chan looked around and asked curiously.

"Here it is." said the mother-in-law with a smile.

Mingxu looked at Guangzhi and the others with anticipation on his face.

"Where is it? Where?" Shin-chan and Hiroshi asked curiously as they looked around.

"I'm here, I am the bamboo, I am the bamboo~" The mother-in-law looked at them and pointed at herself and smiled.

"Hahaha~" Mingxu laughed loudly. Sure enough, he saw the scene he expected. Guangzhi and Xiaoxin's faces turned dark in an instant.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

"You are not allowed to leave!"

"Everyone who attends can get this gift!" Grandma took out a card with a picture of a beautiful elder sister printed on it: "It's a bamboo collection card."

"Wow~" Hiroshi and Shinnosuke appeared in front of her as if they had teleported.

"Here we go again..." Everyone has become accustomed to the reactions of the two.

Then I followed my mother-in-law into the bamboo forest, where some bamboo shoots had already broken through the soil, clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.

"Wow, so many bamboo shoots." Looking at the bamboo shoots on the ground, several people couldn't help but exclaimed.

“You can dig up any bamboo shoots you want in this area.” Grandma looked at them and said with a smile.

"Great! Let's dig it right away!" Meiya said and started to act, aiming at the largest bamboo shoot and reaching out to pull it out.

"The bamboo shoots are too big and not tasty." Looking at Meiya's actions, grandma said with a smile.

"Ah? Will it taste bad if it grows too big?" Meiya looked confused. She had never heard of this before.

"Because bamboo shoots that grow too big will become very hard, they cannot be eaten," Guangzhi explained with a smile.

Several people nodded when they heard this. Mingxu scratched his head. He really didn't have a deep understanding of these things. He only knew that bamboo shoots would grow in the bamboo forest, but he had no idea to what extent other bamboo shoots grew.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about it." Mother-in-law looked at Guangzhi with some surprise.

"I also used to dig bamboo shoots when I was a child." Guangzhi said proudly.

"Dad, how big is this one?" Xiaoxin asked, pointing to a bamboo shoot that had just emerged from the side.

“It should be good.” Guangzhi took a look, then started digging next to the bamboo shoots with a hoe: “After digging away some soil first, you will see the roots, which are in the opposite direction of the bamboo shoots’ growth. Use the hoe to cut from here.” Having said that, Guangzhi was almost done, then put down the hoe and started pulling out the bamboo shoots.

"That's right, just cut off the roots and you can pull it up easily like this." The mother-in-law nodded, and then saw Guangzhi pull up the bamboo shoot.

"Wow~" Looking at everyone's first harvested bamboo shoots, everyone applauded.

"I want to dig too! Bamboo shoots Xiaobai, go find the most delicious bamboo shoots right away!" Xiaoxin gave orders to Xiaobai.

"Woof!" Xiaobai nodded and started looking around following the scent.

"Xiaobai seems very serious." Looking at Xiaobai who was carefully identifying the taste, Mingxu smiled. He really deserves to be called the White God.

"Woof!" At this time, Xiaobai called out to a bamboo shoot that had just emerged.

"Over there! Dig over there quickly!" Seeing this, Xiaoxin ran over excitedly, and Xiaobai had already started digging with his claws.

"Wow~" When they walked over, Xiaobai had already dug it up, and the bamboo shoot was exposed. Mingxu even saw Xiaobai use his claws to cut off the root at the position Guangzhi just mentioned.

"Xiaobai, you are really awesome." Mingxu touched Xiaobai's head and said with a smile.

"Woof." Xiaobai raised his head proudly.

"Watch me!" Xiao Xin said as he jumped down, clamped the bamboo shoot with his buttocks and pulled it up hard. The bamboo shoot was pulled out immediately.

"I found it~" Shin-chan showed off proudly.

"That's pretty impressive. I wish I were ten years younger." Looking at Xiaoxin's actions, the mother-in-law said with a smile.

"No, no, Miss Takeko is still as good as ever." Shin-chan looked at her and smiled.

"Really? Then I'll give you this as a souvenir of digging up bamboo shoots. It's a Miss Bamboo collector's card. There are 20 patterns in total." He took out a card and handed it to Shin-chan.

"Okay! I'll work hard! I'll try my best to collect a complete set!" Shin-chan said proudly.

“I have collected the whole set.” Meiya looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly. Would a normal child be happy about this? . . . Looking at Mingxu on the side, and watching him forcibly pull a bamboo shoot up from the ground, Meiya lowered her head. Well, these two children of hers are not ordinary children. . .

"I'm so envious." Looking at Shin-chan getting the card, Hiroshi said with some envy, then was swept by Misaya's deathly gaze and immediately covered his mouth.

Soon everyone dug a lot of bamboo shoots, and the baskets were almost full.

"We dug up a lot of bamboo shoots." Looking at the bamboo shoots in the basket, the mother-in-law said with a smile.

"Yeah~" everyone cheered.

"That's not enough. I'll take you to a secret bamboo forest that's just beginning to sprout." Grandma said with a smile as she looked at everyone who was excited.

"Ah? Is it really possible?" Several people were stunned when they heard this. Can outsiders be allowed in?

"It's a little far. Follow me." Grandma smiled and led them towards the bamboo forest.

After walking for a while, everyone felt that they were going deeper and deeper into the bamboo forest.

“It feels like I’ve arrived deep in the mountains.”

"Do we have to go further?" Guangzhi looked at his mother-in-law and asked.

“It all looks like the same bamboo forest.”

"That's right. I don't even know where I am now." Meiya also nodded.

Mingxu would pick up a few bamboos as marks every time he walked a distance, in case he lost his way back.

"I didn't expect that grandma wouldn't get lost like this. She's amazing." Meiya smiled as she watched her grandma's firm steps. At this time, grandma suddenly stopped and looked around.

"Ah, are we here yet?" Looking at the look on mother-in-law's face, the two asked expectantly.

"...Why do I feel like I'm lost?" Mingxu looked at the confusion on the other person's face and asked in confusion.

"How could that be?" Meiya waved her hands.

"Uh, I'm lost." Grandma turned around and said a little embarrassedly: "Because there are bamboo forests everywhere, I can't tell the direction, hahaha~"

"Oh my, even an expert can get lost..." Hiroshi and Meiya were speechless.

"I'm just an expert at digging bamboo shoots, not an expert at leading the way." The mother-in-law spread her hands.

"No signal..." After looking at his phone, Guangzhi suddenly became anxious.

"But don't worry. See, the expert knows how to find the way at a time like this." Grandma took out a bamboo shoot, put it on the ground, and looked at the direction where the bamboo shoot fell: "Let's go over there and try."

"...Is this the way an expert finds the way?" Mingxu said speechlessly.

"That's right! You can't find the way like this!" Guangzhi said helplessly, holding his forehead.

"Hahaha, just a little joke. In order to prevent this situation from happening, I put collection cards on bamboos along the way as marks. You can follow the marks to walk back. Let me see, where is the card? Card..." As she said this, the mother-in-law started looking for it along the way she came.

"Next, I want the card with the swimsuit on." Shin-chan smiled, holding a pile of cards in his hand.

"Huh? Wait, where did you get so many cards?" Mingxu looked at the cards in Xiaoxin's hand and said with a twitch of his mouth.

"I picked it up on the road."

"Shin-chan, could it be..." Hiroshi Misae also reacted and asked Shin-chan while looking at him.

"There were Miss Bamboo collector's cards stuck on many bamboos, so I took them down as I walked," said Shin-chan, holding up the cards.

"Kid, do you know how to get back now?" Meiya rolled her eyes.

"Oh, there are bamboo shoots buried underneath. There are such wonderful bamboo shoots here. Oh, I didn't even find them." Suddenly, the mother-in-law looked at a crack on the ground and started digging in surprise.

“…” Several people were speechless.

"Fortunately, I just made a mark, so we can walk back along the same route." Mingxu said helplessly, holding his forehead.

"It's a good thing you're here." Upon hearing this, several people looked at Mingxu in surprise.

"But I seem to hear some noise nearby." Mingxu scratched his head.

"Sound, what sound?" Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"In this direction." Mingxu pointed in a direction.

"Let's go and take a look." Meiya suggested.

"Okay." Several people walked towards Mingxu's voice and then were stunned.

"Hahaha, it turns out this place is right next to the camping area." Mother-in-law looked at the crowd below and burst into laughter.

"Old lady, are you lost again? You are really a directionally challenged person." An old man came over and said with a smile.

“Yes, old man, when you get old you tend to get lost often, it’s really a headache.” The mother-in-law also replied with a smile.

"Several people spread their hands helplessly.

Now that we're back, let's get ready to enjoy a bamboo shoot feast.

After being processed in the kitchen, everyone nodded as they watched the bamboo shoots being cooked.

"I'm going to start!"

"Wow, it's delicious."

"Well, after all this chaos, the bamboo shoot dishes really taste good." The mother-in-law also said with satisfaction.

"Dogs also have dog food to eat." Mingxu said with a smile, looking at Xiaobai beside him.

"Hahaha~" Everyone laughed.
