In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1432 Sleeping Alone (Part 1)

That day, the Nohara family was shopping at a furniture store.

Looking at the various pieces of furniture around him, Shin-chan jumped onto a bed: "Hmm~ I want to lie down and see."

"Hey, hey, hey, weren't you already lying down?" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin with some helplessness. Was this kid finally at the point where he wanted his own bed? Come to think of it, it seems like all the kids' homes have beds.

"What are you going to do?" Misae asked Shin-chan, puzzled.

Shin-chan said without hesitation, "I want a bed!"

"No, no, we're here today, not to buy a bed, okay? Let's go." Misae urged them to leave quickly.

Suddenly, a saleswoman appeared, smiling at them, and said, "Hello~ This item is currently on special sale! It's a 20% discount off the original price, a special thank you to our customers." As she spoke, she pointed to the metal-framed bed that Shin-chan was lying on.

"For the customers." Xiao Xin's eyes lit up as he looked at the saleswoman.

"Um, well, today we..." Misae was about to refuse, but the other person looked directly at Hiroshi: "What do you think?"

"Um, no need, this kind of bed isn't suitable for our home." Hiroshi blushed as he watched the other person approach and waved his hand.

"No, you're a wonderful father. I'm sure you've already prepared separate rooms for the children, right?" The saleswoman continued to look at Hiroshi, her words full of flattery.

"Yes, right, we did prepare a room for the children." Hiroshi subconsciously echoed the other person's words.

"It's not that we weren't prepared," Xiaoxin kept saying, but something about it sounded a bit strange.

"Uh, hehehe~" Seeing that the other person was looking at him, Hiroshi laughed awkwardly. After realizing that he had dealt with Hiroshi, the salesperson looked at Misae and said again, "This bed was never supposed to be discounted. This is probably the last time we'll offer a discount. If you miss this, there won't be another one!"

Clearly, she had figured out that discounts were most effective when it came to housewives.

Misae looked at the other person, her eyes slightly embarrassed: "Um, really, it's not necessary today..."

However, the other party clearly had no intention of giving up. Seeing that Misae was not moved by him, his gaze fell on Hiroshi again.

Mingxu couldn't help but shake his head; this guy wouldn't give up until he sold this bed.

However, looking at a better one next to him, Mingxu said, "Is there a discount on that bed? If so, it's worth considering. But let's forget about this iron-framed bed; it doesn't look very sturdy."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the salesperson paused for a moment, then looked at the bed that Mingxu was pointing to.

The salesperson quickly realized what was going on, still wearing a warm smile: "You have excellent taste. That bed is one of our store's high-end models, but there's no discount right now. However, its quality and comfort are absolutely top-notch. It's made with the finest materials, and sleeping on it is like lying on a cloud."

Mingxu raised an eyebrow: "Without a discount, the price is a bit high."

The salesperson quickly said, "Although there are no discounts right now, we can give you some matching bedding, such as high-quality pillows and duvet covers. These free gifts are quite valuable together."

At this moment, Xiaoxin climbed out of his original bunk bed, ran to the bed Mingxu pointed to, jumped on it, rolled around on the bed, and excitedly shouted, "Wow, this bed is so soft and comfortable! I want this bed!"

Misae looked at Shin-chan with a headache and said to the salesperson, "Look, this kid just had a sudden whim. We really didn't plan to buy a bed today."

The salesperson persisted: "Madam, your child loves it so much, and the quality of this bed is truly excellent. Your child will definitely sleep soundly after buying it, and it will also be good for your child's growth."

Hiroshi hesitated for a moment, looking at Shin-chan happily on the bed, then at the price tag on the bed, and started to make his own calculations.

Seeing that Hiroshi had an idea, she spoke to him again.

The salesperson, all smiles, continued, "Look, Dad, how important it is to give your child a good sleep environment. This bed is a bit pricey, but it will ensure your child sleeps comfortably every night and goes to school full of energy the next day—it's such a good deal! And the bedding we give away is all carefully selected; the quality is absolutely guaranteed."

Guangzhi felt increasingly conflicted after hearing this. On the one hand, he felt that the salesperson made sense, but on the other hand, he felt that the price was indeed not low and exceeded his original budget.

He looked at Misae, hoping to get some support from her. Misae frowned and said to the salesperson, "This bed isn't really suitable for our current home layout, and it's really a bit expensive."

The salesperson's eyes lit up, and he added, "Madam, look how versatile this bed's design is! No matter what your home's decor style is, it will blend in perfectly. Plus, if you buy it now, we'll offer free delivery and installation—how convenient!"

Shin-chan rolled around on the bed even more excitedly, constantly shouting, "I want this bed! I want this bed!" He seemed determined not to get up unless he was given one.

Looking at Shin-chan's longing eyes and then at the bed, Hiroshi felt the scales in his heart begin to tip slowly.

"Alright, just tell me what discount you're offering. If it's right, we'll buy it. If you keep arguing, then forget it." Mingxu said, glancing at Meiya and gesturing. Meiya, seeing that Xiaoxu was giving her a look, paused for a moment before agreeing, "That's right, if it's right, we'll buy it."

Upon hearing this, the salesperson's eyes lit up instantly, and their face beamed with an even brighter smile. They quickly said, "Oh, you two are so generous! Although this high-end bed doesn't come with a discount, seeing how sincere you are and how much you love your child, I can ask the store manager to see if I can get you a special small discount and some extra useful gifts. How does that sound?"

Hiroshi and Misae exchanged a glance, and Hiroshi nodded, saying, "Okay, go and apply for it." The salesperson quickly nodded and ran off to find the store manager. A little while later, the salesperson ran back excitedly, saying, "The store manager agreed! We'll give you a 15% discount, and in addition to the pillows and duvet covers we mentioned before, we'll also give you a free set of children's mattress protectors and two cute plush toys. This is truly the most sincere offer we can make."

Hearing this from the bed, Shin-chan excitedly sat up, clapping his hands and shouting, "Yay! We have a new bed, and a plush toy too!" Hiroshi and Misae looked at Shin-chan's happy face, then at the bed, and finally nodded, saying, "Okay, this is the bed." The salesperson was overjoyed and quickly said, "Alright, I'll process your purchase right away, and we'll arrange delivery to your door in a little while."

After finalizing the purchases, the family went home. Soon after, the items were delivered and carried up to their second-floor room. The family then began installation, primarily by the workers, with others assisting.

"Is it not ready yet?" Shin-chan looked at the bed, which was already taking shape, and suddenly became a little anxious.

"Wait a minute, this is actually quite complicated," Hiroshi said, watching the assembler as he helped out.

"What a headache, really, we bought such a nice bed all at once." Misae was still a little distressed, looking at the two little ones; "In that case, Shin-chan and Asahi, you two can stay together."

"Ah~ but I want to live alone." Shin-chan scratched his head, somewhat reluctant.

"It's alright, let Xiaoxin stay here." Mingxu waved his hand dismissively.

"Hmph!" Misae grabbed Shin-chan's ear in an annoyed manner.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Shin-chan cried out in pain.

"Now that I've bought you a bed, you'll have to sleep by yourself starting today," Misae said, looking at Shin-chan with a touch of emotion.

Xiao Xinyan immediately laughed: "I won't be woken up by Mom's snoring anymore."

"What!?" Misae looked at Shin-chan with annoyance, and Mingxu couldn't help but shake his head. This kid is really naughty.

After some time, they successfully assembled the bed, tested it a few times, and found no problems before the workers left.
