In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

"Help me cut the vegetables?" Xiaoxin looked at what Meiya was holding and immediately became interested: "Cut the vegetables, cut the vegetables! I want them!"

Mingxu was startled and said quickly, "Mom, let me do it. Xiaoxin is still too young." As he was about to take the things from Meiya's hands, he completely forgot that he was only four years old like Xiaoxin.

"It's okay. Mom is watching here. This is a good opportunity to teach Xiaoxin how to use the kitchen knife correctly." Meiya dodged for a moment, shook her head at Mingxu, and handed the kitchen knife to Xiaoxin under Mingxu's worried look.

Shin-chan looked at the sharp kitchen knife that Mei-ya handed to him and couldn't help swallowing. There seemed to be a cold light flashing on the knife. Mei-ya gripped the blade and handed the handle to Shin-chan. Shin-chan took it tremblingly and held it with both hands.

"Vegetables... kitchen knife..." Looking at the kitchen knife in his hand, Xiaoxin swallowed nervously.

Mingxu put the washed vegetables into the sieve, drained the water, used his arms to put the vegetables on the table, and then watched Meiya teach Xiaoxin how to use a kitchen knife.

"Xiao Xin, the kitchen knife is very sharp, but as long as we use it carefully, it is not scary at all." Mei Ya also saw Xiao Xin's fear and said softly. "When we hand a knife to someone, we must hand over the handle, just like your mother handed it to you just now."

"Oh, oh." Xiaoxin still said nervously. Mingxu stood behind Xiaoxin and helped Xiaoxin grab the kitchen knife, then looked at Meiya and said, "Mom, Xiaoxin and I will cut the vegetables together."

"Actually, don't be so nervous... Okay." Mei Ya looked at Xiao Xin, who was originally nervous, and immediately relaxed after Ming Xu grabbed his hand. She shook her head and said helplessly. "By the way, I'll find you a towel, it will be easier to hold." Mei Ya went to the drawer to find a towel.

Mingxu grabbed Xiaoxin's hand, but he didn't expect that the boy's hand holding the kitchen knife would loosen. The knife cut straight down, cutting off the head of the radish with a bang.

Meiya shuddered all over and turned her head mechanically. She saw Xiaoxin, who was sweating all over, and Mingxu, who was trembling a little. She hurried over and shouted, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

After carefully checking the two brothers several times, he turned his head to look at the table. He was relieved when he saw the radish heads cut off by a kitchen knife on the table.

"Cut, cut it off..." Shin-chan looked at Mei-ya nervously, and below him was Ming-xu's hand that quickly grabbed the handle of the knife.

"The head was cut off..." Shin-chan suddenly said this again. Meisai and Mingxu trembled all over and were scared by Shin-chan again.

"Hey, don't scare me, it will shorten my life." Meiya grabbed the table with both hands and put her head on it and said helplessly.

"Reduce, reduce by how many years?" Xiaoxin asked cautiously. Mingxu placed the kitchen knife on the table, and his trembling hands slowly calmed down. This brat is so scary.

"About three years." Misae glanced at Shin-chan and said.

"How did you know?"

"I'm an adult! Adults know everything!" Meiya said stubbornly, and then she saw Mingxu gave her a blank look. Her face immediately turned red. She stood up and took the kitchen knife on the table to demonstrate again, and then she started cutting obediently. She would teach her this thing later.

Unexpectedly, Shin-chan suddenly hugged the radish that Mei-ya had cut in half and started to cry: "Big radish, you are so pitiful~"

"Xiao Xin, you are so compassionate. But radishes are only valuable when they are eaten by people." Mei Ya didn't expect that the child would be so caring, and she wiped her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiaoxin turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth. However, before Xiaoxin could attack, a fist landed on his head.

"boom!"

"Mom, I was just kidding." Shin-chan obediently put the radish on the table and quietly watched Mei-ya prepare the hot pot.

After preparing the soup, the preliminary preparations are almost done.

At night, Guangzhi returned home and smelled the warm aroma of hot pot as soon as he entered the house.

After changing clothes, I saw Mei Ya brought the hot pot to the table with a gas stove underneath: "Wow, we're having hot pot today."

"Yeah, Dad, come and help serve the dishes." Mingxu brought out a plate of cut meat and placed it on the table. Xiaoxin followed behind Mingxu, also holding some lettuce, radishes and the like in his hands.

"Here it comes." Guangzhi didn't hesitate to get up and go into the kitchen to help bring out the rest.

The family was ready, and when they saw Meiya was about to start putting the ingredients in, Shin-chan immediately ran over excitedly: "Mom, let me do it!" Then he picked up some chrysanthemum and was about to put it in, but was stopped by Meiya.

"You have to start with something that's not easy to cook."

"Oh, so that's how it is, Dad, Xiaoxu, you have to listen carefully!"

"Okay."*2The two responded seriously.

"and then?"

"Put some meat in it."

"Oh." Then Mingxu felt a rhythm starting to move.

"Then I'll put in beef, chicken, and lamb."

"Roll, roll, roll~"

"Put in the radish~"

"Roll, roll, roll~"

"Put in the cabbage."

"roll..."

"Put in the mushrooms~"

"Put in the meatballs~"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Xin took it and put it in.

“Put in the fans.”

“Put in the enoki mushrooms.”

"The next thing is..." Xiaoxin tried to secretly hide the scallion, but Mingxu grabbed him and put the scallion inside, with a bulging face.

"Xiao Xu, you did a great job. You won't grow up if you are picky about food. Look how much difference there is between you and Xiao Xu." Guangzhi complained about Xiao Xin's height. The two of them were almost half a head apart.

"Well, it's obviously Xiaoxu who eats more!" Xiaoxin protested.

“Put in the carrots!”

"Ah!" Xiao Xin didn't expect that all the things he hated were put in.

“Put in the tofu.”

"Put in the eggs."

“Put in the chrysanthemum.”

"Put it in the fish plate."

"And there are some cookies..." However, before Xiaoxin put the cookie in, Mingxu took it away.

"Put this thing in and the taste changes."

"Well done, Xiaoxu!" Guangzhi Meiya was very supportive, and Xiaoxin got angry again.

“Get lost…” After waiting for a while.

"It's cooked. Can we eat it now?" The four of them each picked up a piece and started eating. It was so hot that they grimaced in their mouths, but it tasted quite good.

"It's delicious. Xiaoxu and Xiaoxin, how does it taste?" After Guangzhi swallowed it, he looked at the two children and asked.

"It's delicious. I want to eat meat." Xiaoxin pointed at the meat with shining eyes.

"Okay, come here." Meiya picked up a large piece of meat and put it in Mingxu and Xiaoxin's bowls.

"Thank you, Mom." Mingxu nodded, then scooped up a few meatballs with a spoon and put them into Guangzhi Meiya's bowl: "Mom and Dad, eat." Then he scooped up a piece and put it into Xiaoxin and his own bowl.

"Okay, let's eat together." Guangzhi smiled and said when he saw this.

"Sure enough, eating hot pot is the best in winter." Meiya said with a smile.

"This is what happiness feels like." Everyone said together.

"Let's eat hot pot together next time!"

"Agree!"

So, the next morning, Xiaoxin hugged the pot from yesterday and insisted on taking it to school to eat hotpot. He didn't want to bring a lunch box. After being punched by Mingxu, he calmed down temporarily. Meiya promised to let him eat it again in the evening, and then he got into the stroller obediently.
