In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Upon hearing this, Shin-chan immediately perked up and dragged Hiroshi towards the bedroom: "Dad, let's go to the bedroom and look for some, maybe we can find some croquettes!"

Hiroshi was also very excited and rushed into the bedroom with Shin-chan. The two of them were going to check out the closet!

Mingxu leisurely made his way up to the second floor, carefully listening to his surroundings as he went, trying to catch any clues that Meiya might have left when she hid the note. Upon reaching the second floor, he first circled the corridor but found nothing unusual. Then, he began searching each room one by one.

Misae panicked a little when she saw them split into two groups, but then she remembered her hiding place on the second floor and breathed a sigh of relief. She first went to the bedroom with Hiroshi and the others and watched them open the closet and rummage through it. Misae raised an eyebrow; she hadn't put anything in there.

However, when Misae saw a blue box on top of the closet, her eyes widened. Wait a minute! Her secret stash of money was hidden here!!! She couldn't let them find it!!!

Unsurprisingly, Shin-chan also spotted the blue box: "Wait a minute! That blue box looks suspicious!"

"Ah!" Misae hurriedly closed the closet: "Okay, now's your chance! Actually, the note that says croquettes is hidden on the second floor!"

"What? Let's go, Shin-chan, let's hurry and meet up with Asahi to find the thing!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Shin-chan and Hiroshi immediately scurried upstairs.

Misae breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but could they really find it?

On the second floor, after searching the corridor without success, Mingxu first went to the study to see if there were any changes. As soon as he entered, he noticed some changes on the bookshelves.

"Mom, honestly, you should at least put the book back in properly!" Speechless, she pulled the book out and, unsurprisingly, found a note inside: "Oh, the braised pork is here! Hehe~ Mom, I found the braised pork!"

"!" Misae's lips twitched. She glanced at the refrigerator and thankfully, she had enough ingredients. She didn't need to go out to buy any more. Sigh~ Let's start cooking. After simply cutting the meat into chunks and adding a series of seasonings, Misae put it into the pressure cooker and started cooking.

After finishing, she couldn't help but shake her head: "What a hassle, so many seasonings~ But no one else has made a move, looks like they haven't found it~ Hehe~ That's right, I hid it very well~" Misae checked the situation here and, after confirming that there wouldn't be any problems in the short term, went upstairs to check on their movements. When Mingxu saw Misae, he casually handed her the note before calmly going to meet up with Hiroshi and the others.

Hiroshi and the others looked at the room in front of them with some helplessness; there was so much stuff.

"It's really difficult to find the note in this room."

"Then I'll use my ultimate move, Butt Radar! Butt Detection!" With that, Shin-chan started shaking his butt.

"Butt radar works by vibrating your bottom, causing the air to resonate, and then reflecting radio waves to find the note containing the ingredients!" Hiroshi explained earnestly, while Mingxu looked at him speechlessly; "Dad, you still have time to explain things like this..."

"Um, Xiaoxu, how's your search going?" Guangzhi looked at Mingxu awkwardly.

"Mom is already making braised pork downstairs," Mingxu said with a grin.

"Alright! We need to find it too!" Hiroshi cheered up. Just then, Shin-chan pulled something out of the clutter nearby: "Oh, so this is where it is! Gundam Fist!"

"...No, how come your fist is everywhere?" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly. You little brat, don't go too far!

"Hehe~" Xiaoxin tilted his head and looked at Mingxu with a grin. Obviously, he had forgotten about it when he was playing here before.

Hiroshi continued searching when suddenly his hand touched a small, hard box hidden behind the books on the bottom shelf. "Huh? What's this?" Curious, Hiroshi took the box out and opened it. Inside was a note that read "fried dumplings."

"Haha, I found the fried dumplings!" Hiroshi shouted excitedly. Shin-chan, hearing this, immediately came over, his eyes fixed on the note: "Fried dumplings, fried dumplings, I want fried dumplings!"

"Ah~ you guys found all of this." Misae was a little disappointed, but after thinking about these things, she realized she had other ways to deal with them, and her spirits lifted.

"Oh, what's this?" Hiroshi suddenly spotted something from a crack in a box. He opened it, and just as he was about to rejoice, his lips twitched. "Wait, a spiral bread? Isn't that bread wrapped in chocolate? You put this here too? What kind of dinner is this spiral bread?"

"I can't stand Mom," Shin-chan complained from the side.

The group continued their search, but they didn't notice that Shin-chan had quietly slipped away. A short while later, they heard a noise downstairs. They were startled and rushed downstairs, only to find that Shin-chan had run back to the bedroom and opened the closet. The noise they had just heard was the sound of something falling from inside the closet.

"Mom, you're still the same as always, stuffing a bunch of stuff into the closet," Shin-chan complained to Misae, looking at the things on the floor.

"Ugh, really, why did you open it?" Misae was exasperated with Shin-chan.

"My eyes haven't gone blank." Shin-chan straightened his back and looked at Misae.

"Oh?" Mingxu raised an eyebrow. It seemed there was some hidden meaning here.

"You haven't gone blind, have you?!" Misae corrected, speechless.

Shin-chan continued, "Mom was acting strangely just now, so there must be something hidden inside!"

"Oh?" Hiroshi looked at the things on the ground and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something stuck to the blue box. He leaned over to take a look, and Misae noticed Hiroshi's movement as well. She couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Oh no!"

"Oh, what a strange bank envelope."

"This is..."

"Ah, so it's your secret stash of money~" Hiroshi smiled at Misae, patting the envelope in his hand. Wow, she really knows how to hide things!

"Hmm, what's this?" Mingxu saw a flyer on the ground and picked it up curiously.

"Oh, it's a delivery order. They have a Kasukabe croquette promotion!"

"Oh! It's a croquette!"

"Look, it says that if you order now, you'll get two extra croquettes. Do you want to order some?" Misae quickly suggested. With the braised pork in the kitchen, this dinner would be quite substantial.

"Hehe~ Then you can treat me~" Hiroshi clapped the envelope in his hand again and looked at Misae with a grin.

"Okay." Misae hung her head, clearly unhappy; her secret stash of money had been discovered!

Mingxu shrugged and said he would help his mother finish it later.

A phone call was made, very quickly.

Your food delivery has arrived.

Looking at the lavish meal in front of her, Misae complained, "Not only was my secret stash of money discovered, but I was also forced to treat you all to a big meal. I'm really..."

"That's awesome!" Shin-chan and his friends exclaimed with delight.

"Ah, whatever, I'm happy to have an easier time this way, I don't care~" Misae smiled as she looked at her family's smiles.

“Mm, delicious~”
