In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

At night, at the Nohara family home, Misae was comforting the constantly crying Aoi. For some reason, Aoi had been having trouble sleeping at night lately, waking up as soon as she was put down and crying. Misae was also feeling very uncomfortable.

"Ah, sweetie~ Little Sunflower, don't cry, don't cry." Misae kept comforting her. Shin-chan was already fast asleep on his back. Mingxu sat there, watching worriedly, and kept handing Misae toys.

Hiroshi sighed and looked at Misae: "Is Aoi feeling unwell?"

"No, I think it's just that I cry a lot, right?" Misae sighed, uncertainly.

“She hasn’t been crying as much at night lately.” Hiroshi disagreed with Misae’s statement, but they were at a loss as to what to do about Aoi’s crying.

Misae looked at them and said, "Honey, you should go to sleep early. I'll go to the living room to comfort Aoi. Asahi, you should go to sleep too; you both have to go to kindergarten tomorrow." With that, Misae hugged Aoi with one arm and pressed Asahi onto the bed with the other before leaving the bedroom, closing the door, and continuing to comfort him.

Mingxu and Guangzhi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness. What on earth was going on?

Misae kept comforting Aoi in the living room: "Sweetie, sweetie, sweetie, what's wrong? Aoi, why aren't you sleeping? Baby, be good, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry~ Sweetie~ don't cry, don't cry, baby, don't cry, sweetie, don't cry, don't cry, sweetie, don't cry~"

Misae carried Aoi in her arms and unknowingly walked to the entrance hall. As soon as she got there, Aoi calmed down and slowly fell asleep.

Misae looked at Aoi sleeping soundly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Ah~ that's great." She then tiptoed toward the bedroom.

But after taking only a few steps, Xiao Kui suddenly opened her eyes, looked around, a look of confusion in her eyes, and then continued to cry loudly.

"Huh? What happened...?" Misae looked at Aoi uncertainly, then her gaze fell on the entryway where they had just been standing. Uncertainly, she led Aoi back to the entryway, and then, a miracle happened.

Xiao Kui quieted down again and fell into a deep sleep.

Misae looked around, then at Aoi, and her lips twitched. "Oh? You like it here? But this isn't a place to sleep. Be good, let's go sleep under the covers, okay? Be good, be good~" As she spoke, Misae tried to lead Aoi back to the bedroom, but after only a few steps, Aoi woke up again, realized it wasn't the place she wanted, and started crying again.

"Waaaaah~"

Hearing Aoi crying, Misae panicked and went to the entrance again. Sure enough, Aoi had fallen asleep peacefully again.

Misae's lips twitched. After trying a few times with uncertainty, and confirming that Aoi could only sleep in the entryway, she sighed helplessly: "What on earth are you doing?"

With no other option, Misae had to leave Aoi in the entryway for the time being, then quickly went inside to get her own bedding and spread it out in the entryway. Mingxu heard the noise and turned around to look. He saw Misae moving the bedding and was a little puzzled, but he went over to help anyway.

Seeing Misae spread the blankets out in the entryway, then pick up Aoi and put her inside, Mingxu looked bewildered.

"Mom, what's this?"

"Well, Kui only stops crying when she sleeps here. Asahi, you should go back to sleep too, it's so late." Misae glanced at the time and said helplessly.

Mingxu nodded, but didn't immediately return to his room. Instead, he squatted by the entryway, watching the sleeping Xiaokui, muttering softly, "Xiaokui is such a strange little girl." Meiya tucked Xiaokui in, let out a big yawn, and her eyes were bloodshot. Leaning against the wall, she looked at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, feeling both amused and exasperated. This little one wouldn't sleep in the middle of the night, insisting on using the entryway as her bed. After a while, the living room clock ticked to two in the morning. Meiya's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep next to Xiaokui.

In her sleep, Misae seemed to hear soft footsteps. She groggily opened her eyes and saw Hiroshi standing in the entryway in his pajamas, holding a thin blanket. "Why are you up too?" Misae's voice was still heavy with sleep.

Hiroshi gently covered her with the blanket and sighed: "I heard no movement in the living room, so I came to check." This child, she's such a handful. He crouched down and poked Aoi's cheek. The little one smacked her lips, rolled over, and continued sleeping, completely undisturbed.

Hiroshi looked at Misae with some confusion and asked, "Wife, why are you sleeping here?"

"There's nothing I can do, Aoi only wants to sleep here. Let me sleep a little longer." With that, Misae covered herself with the blanket again and went back to sleep.

Looking at Misae's tired face, Hiroshi said softly, "Go to your bedroom and get some sleep. I'll stay here and watch over you."

Misae shook her head and grabbed Hiroshi's hand: "No need, let's squeeze in here together, otherwise she'll look for me again when she wakes up."

The two sat back to back on the floor of the entryway, listening to Xiao Kui's even breathing, with only the ticking of the wall clock in the living room.

Morning arrived quickly. Mingxu watched them, then carefully went out without disturbing them.

When I came back from outside, I bought breakfast, so Misae wouldn't have to prepare breakfast when she got up.

Soon, Hiroshi and the others woke up and saw the morning on the table. They didn't say much, as it must have been prepared by Xiaoxu. There was also a pot of warm water that was kept at a constant temperature next to it.

Xiao Xin was also forced to get up by Mingxu. After eating breakfast, they prepared to take him to kindergarten in the stroller.

"Mom, you're home!" Shin-chan called out to Misae before following Akira away.

"You should have said I was leaving. Oh, Himawari is sleeping, be careful!" Misae suddenly remembered something and called out to Shin-chan.

"Don't worry, I'm watching." Mingxu's voice came, and Meiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Shin-chan was taken aback when he saw Himawari sleeping in the entryway: "What happened?"

However, he didn't dare to disturb Xiao Kui, and followed Ming Xu cautiously towards the entrance.

Little Sunflower kept rolling around halfway through, and Shin-chan, watching her, couldn't help but remark, "Little Sunflower is really a scary little husky..."

"Don't talk to your sister like that. But why is she sleeping in the entryway?" Mingxu didn't understand either, shook his head, and took Xiaoxin into the stroller. Guangzhi had already gone to work before this.

After finishing some housework, Misae looked at Aoi, who had just woken up and was no longer making a fuss, and took her to the living room to play with her.

"Come on, Aoi, throw it to Mommy~" Misae said, picking up a ball and carefully rolling it toward Aoi. Aoi caught it and casually tossed it. Misae instinctively tried to intercept it, but the distance was beyond her arm's reach, and she fell flat on her face.

After picking up the ball, Misae yawned: "Ah~ it's nap time. Let's drink our milk and then go to sleep~"

After picking up the warm water that Xiaoxu had prepared and preparing milk powder for Xiaokui, Meiya checked the temperature and said, "Hmm, this is just right."
