In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1448 The Nohara Family's Adult Party

In the park, Nini looked at everyone and said happily, "Nini went to a party yesterday!"

Zheng Nan was somewhat surprised to hear this: "Huh? Nini went to a party?"

Nini said happily, "Yes, because my dad's company held a 50th anniversary party."

"It sounds like a party that's hard to understand." Xiao Xinyan scratched his head; this was indeed a complicated statement.

"What's so hard to understand? It's just that the company is fifty years old, like our birthday," Mingxu said, shrugging.

"That's pretty much the gist of it." Kazama and the others nodded in agreement.

Nini continued dreamily, "That party was so luxurious! It was in a huge room in a grand hotel, and the table was piled high with all sorts of food! We could eat whatever we wanted!" As she said this, a glistening tear appeared at the corner of Nini's mouth; she looked like she was drooling.

"That's awesome!" Zheng Nan's face was full of envy.

Shin-chan chimed in, "I've been to those all-you-can-eat restaurants too. How long is the time limit? An hour?"

"No, it's not one of those all-you-can-eat restaurants. It was a party at a hotel. Raise your hand if you've eaten there," Nini called out again, looking at them.

Mingxu pulled Xiaoxin and silently raised his hand.

"Huh? How could this be? What happened to you two...?" Nini's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the two little ones.

“No matter what, our dad is a minister-level official, so it’s normal for him to attend some company gatherings,” Mingxu said, shrugging.

"...Really? Never mind, looks like it's just the few of us going." Nini pulled them to her side in an instant, looking at the others' somewhat smug expressions. She hadn't expected that Kazama hadn't participated before.

"Our family can host those super luxurious parties too!" Shin-chan suddenly shouted excitedly.

"really?"

"How can it be."

"..." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly. He didn't expect Xiaoxin to say something like that at this moment.

Looking at the expressions of the children around him, Mingxu sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do but leave it at that for now.

On the way back, Mingxu bought some groceries to take home and discuss with his mother.

At home, Misae was doing housework when she heard Shin-chan say he wanted to have a party at home. She was stunned for a moment: "Holding a party? It's not like it's someone's birthday. Why would you have a party for no reason?"

Shin-chan pleaded from the side, "Please, Mom, just say yes this once! My dearest Mom, my most beautiful Mom! It's okay if you're usually a little stingy... Um... Mom can be very generous when necessary!"

"The phrase 'often stingy' is superfluous, and the other sweet talk is excessive!" Looking at Shin-chan's expression, Misae couldn't help but sigh, then looked at the pile of ingredients on the table and turned to Mingxu again: "Xiaoxu, did you buy these to prepare for a party?"

"Yes." Mingxu nodded.

Shin-chan chimed in, "Anyway, Mom's a master at deceiving people, throwing a party won't be a problem at all, right?"

“No, throwing a party costs money,” Misae said, shaking her head again as she looked at them.

"Oh, right? Mom has money to secretly buy herself new clothes without Dad's knowledge, but she doesn't have money to throw a party for her cute son and invite the kids to play here, right?" Shin-chan looked at Misae and couldn't help but expose Misae's little secret.

"...You're really bold, threatening your own mother again. Okay, I get it. Having a party once in a while isn't bad, let's do it this way." Misae sighed, after all, she couldn't let the things Xiaoxu bought go to waste.

Shin-chan's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked again, "Really? Wow~ having a party~ that sounds so much fun~" Shin-chan cheered, and Himawari shook her head as she watched Shin-chan's excited expression.

Seeing Shin-chan's expression, Misae didn't want to say anything more. She turned to Mingxu and asked, "Mingxu, have you guys said when you're going to have the party?"

"Let's do it tomorrow at noon. There are no classes at kindergarten tomorrow afternoon, so we can come back for lunch. We'll come back first, and Kazama and the others will go back and pack up before coming over," Mingxu said, scratching his head as he looked at Misae.

"Oh, I see. Then Mom will do most of it first, and you can help with the rest when you get back," Misae said, nodding as she looked at them.

And so, the next day arrived quickly.

Before Mingxu and the others returned, Meiya was already preparing all sorts of food for the party.

In the kitchen, the clatter of pots and pans blended into a cheerful melody. Misae skillfully stir-fried the dishes, their aroma gradually filling the air. As she worked, she mentally considered what else she needed to prepare.

Before long, the table was filled with all sorts of delicious food, including brightly colored fruit platters and fragrant roasted chicken wings. Looking at the abundant food, Misae nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the party would definitely be a success.

There was still a cake to make. Just then, the cheerful laughter of Shin-chan and his friends came from outside the door. It turned out that Mingxu and his friends had returned.

"I am back."

"You're back~"

"Oh, they're back. Ah! Aoi, you can't steal any!" Misae saw Aoi stealing strawberries and immediately grabbed the bowl.

"Eek!" Xiao Kui shook her head, wanting to take more to eat, but Misae resolutely refused.

"No, it has to be used as decoration on the cake." Misae looked at Himawari's puffed-up cheeks with a bit of helplessness. Just then, the two little ones came in, and Misae said, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xin, you two have to help Mommy watch Himawari now."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes." Mingxu nodded, changed out of his school uniform, and came over to keep Xiaokui company.

Meanwhile, Shin-chan was picking and choosing in his bedroom.

"What are you doing?" Mingxu asked, holding Xiaokui and looking at Xiaoxin with confusion.

"I don't know what to wear," Shin-chan said without turning his head.

"Whatever. It's not important. After all, compared to those things, if you don't help now, you'll probably get scolded by your mother."

"..." Shin-chan's expression froze for a moment, then he hurriedly went over to help.

Mingxu, with Xiaokui by his side, did some simple things.

Soon, the cake base was ready. After taking it out of the oven, Misae exclaimed happily, "Wow~ I didn't expect I could bake it so beautifully~ Hehe~"

The cream was already prepared; now all we need to do is spread the cream on the cake base and fill it with strawberries, and we're done.

But then, the doorbell rang.

"Ding dong~"

"It looks like Kazama and the others have arrived." Upon hearing the doorbell, the people inside were startled, and Mingxu looked at Misae.

"Huh? But it's not done yet..." Misae exclaimed in surprise, looking at the cake base in her hand with a hint of helplessness.

"It's okay, we can all do it together." Mingxu smiled and went to open the door.

"Xiao Xu." Everyone called out when they saw Ming Xu open the door.

"Hello." Misae also came out, and she felt that what Xiaoxu said made a lot of sense.

"Auntie, thank you so much for hosting us at the party today."

"My mom also asked me to convey her gratitude." As the children spoke, they handed over the gifts they were carrying. The children smiled and accepted them, then invited them inside.

The room was basically set out, and the various dishes on the table were emitting a delicious aroma.

"Wow~" several little ones exclaimed.

Shin-chan, wearing a little suit, said smugly, "How about that? My mom's vanity is no joke."
