Chapter 1319 Going out to buy groceries with Dad
Watching the TV presenter dip sukiyaki meat in egg and then put it in his mouth, the mouths of the people watching instantly watered. A single thought popped into their heads: they wanted to eat sukiyaki too!
"Uh... Dad, is it really that bad?" Seeing Xiao Kui crawling to his side in fear, Mingxu turned his head and saw Guangzhi drooling on the ground, and said helplessly.
"Hehe~" Hiroshi wiped his drool and looked at the little ones: "Asahi, Shin!"
"Oh, I understand." Mingxu nodded at Guangzhi.
Misae walked over and stood in front of the glass door. Hiroshi suddenly stood up and put one hand on the glass door. Misae was startled and turned around to see Hiroshi.
"Oh ho~ it's a wall slam~" Mingxu and Xiaoxin immediately started teasing.
Misae looked at Hiroshi in surprise, unsure of what he was planning, and her face flushed red.
"Misa, please listen to my wish, okay?" Hiroshi seemed to have changed, reaching out to grab Misae's chin: "Tonight, I want to enjoy delicious sukiyaki with you~"
"Go, go!" The little ones cheered for Hiroshi from behind.
"Thank you, darling, you're always so good to me." Misae's eyes also sparkled.
"They've fallen for it." Hiroshi was overjoyed, held Misae's head, secretly looked at the little ones, and gave them a thumbs up.
"However, I've decided tonight that I'll treat you all to the stir-fried vegetables~" As expected, Misae had already noticed their unusual behavior and asked Hiroshi to help her, raising her eyebrows with a smile.
"Ah~ Misae, please don't say such things~" Hiroshi was still pleading with Misae.
"dad.."
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Xin, do you want to eat sukiyaki too?" Misae asked the two little ones.
"Yes," Mingxu replied readily.
"Yes, uh, no..." Shin-chan hesitated, mainly because Misae's eyes looked a little scary.
"Shin-chan!" Hiroshi glared at Shin-chan with displeasure. You little brat, you betrayed me!
Misae looked at Hiroshi with dissatisfaction, then took out some cash: "Besides the money we need to save, this is all we can spend at the end of the month, so you can decide for yourself." With that, Misae handed Hiroshi a few bills, clearly leaving the choice to him.
"Wow~ Thanks!" Hiroshi was overjoyed.
Wow~, Mom's thighs are getting bigger and bigger~
"What great thighs!" After praising the two kids, Hiroshi happily took them out to buy groceries. He kept checking messages on his phone.
However, after arriving at the shopping street, the two children looked at Hiroshi standing there and asked curiously, "Dad, aren't we going to buy groceries?"
"Wait a minute, I have a battle plan." Hiroshi scrolled through his phone: "Before leaving, I took a picture of the flyer. In five minutes, the one-hour limited-time sale will start. You can use it for half price on grilled tofu and shredded pork, as well as chrysanthemum greens, mushrooms, and scallions. Then I'll use the rest of the money to buy meat~ Hahaha~ Pretty amazing, right?" Hiroshi said, looking at Mingxu and Xiaoxin with a smug expression, raising his eyebrows.
"Wow~" Looking at Hiroshi, the two little ones clapped their hands: "Daddy is so amazing~"
"That's right~"
"Alright, alright, let's go." After arriving at the vegetable shop and buying grilled tofu and konjac noodles, Hiroshi said proudly, "We've already bought grilled tofu and konjac noodles."
"And then?" Shin-chan asked Hiroshi curiously.
"Let's go to the fruit and vegetable store and buy some chrysanthemum greens, mushrooms, and scallions." Guangzhi said, about to leave, when he saw a small figure carrying a bag coming over: "Dad, I've already bought the chrysanthemum greens and mushrooms, but the store we just went to doesn't have the scallions, so we'll have to go to another one." Mingxu looked at Guangzhi and said, looking at the bag in his hand.
"Oh, okay, sure." After seeing Mingxu buy some, Guangzhi paused for a moment, then nodded: "It's alright, let's look at another one." He then led the two little ones to the entrance of a fruit and vegetable store, and immediately spotted the green onions at the door: "This place has them!"
“But there are so many people.” Hiroshi scratched his head.
"Go, Dad! Sukiyaki is waiting for us!" Shin-chan teased Hiroshi.
Hiroshi looked at the two little ones, hesitated for a moment, but still took Shin-chan with him. Then he handed the things in his hands to Mingxu beside him. "Xiaoxu, Daddy is taking Shin-chan to buy green onions. You wait here with the things."
"Mmm." Mingxu nodded. He knew that Guangzhi was not suitable to carry him around like this due to his current weight.
Hiroshi then led Shin-chan inside, squeezing to the front to grab the green onions by the door. They handed them to Shin-chan, paid at the shop, and successfully made their way out. However, Shin-chan, in trying to help a pretty older woman, made Hiroshi squeeze through the crowd again before finally getting his things. Seeing this, Mingxu expressed his disdain for their behavior. →_→
Fortunately, everything else was still with him, otherwise he would have suspected that they might have given it to the other party as well.
"Tsk tsk, Dad, you guys are really something." Mingxu raised an eyebrow as he looked at Guangzhi and the others.
"Uh, it was all an accident, an accident." Hiroshi waved his hands repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and go buy meat, Dad. If the limited-time sale ends, do you think we'll still be able to eat it?" Mingxu asked Guangzhi, shrugging his shoulders.
"...Hurry up!" Hiroshi realized that they still needed to buy things.
He rushed to the butcher shop, and luckily, there was still time. Hiroshi stepped forward and managed to buy the last two portions of meat.
"Wow, great! I'm finally done shopping!"
“Yes, we almost didn’t make it in time,” Mingxu said, shrugging.
"It's good that Xiao Xu is here." Guang Zhi looked at Ming Xu, stepped forward, patted his head, and smiled.
"It's not that exaggerated," Mingxu said with a grin, tilting his head. "But since I've already bought it, I'll just leave it at that." Mingxu then looked at the shop owner and said, "Boss, please give me a serving of premium beef." He then took out a few bills from his bag and handed them to the shop owner.
"Oh, okay." The shopkeeper saw Mingxu smile as he took the money, then took out a portion from the counter, put it in a bag, and handed it over. Guangzhi hurriedly stepped forward to take it.
Guangzhi looked at the bag of premium beef in his hand and then at Mingxu with a hint of helplessness: "Xiaoxu, now it's your expense."
"Hey, what's the big deal? Money's meant to be spent, right? Besides, Dad, those properties you bought for us rent out for a good amount of money every month." Mingxu shrugged. "Now, you could say I'm a landlord myself!"
He wasn't lying. Guangzhi has been checking out the housing prices around here from time to time, and when he thinks they're right, he discusses them with Mingxu and they've bought quite a few properties in different places. Of course, they've used his royalties to buy them. So, it's not wrong to say that Xiaoxu is now a landlord.
Zhi listened and shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of relief.
Shin-chan, who was watching from the side with his eyes fixed on the bag of premium beef, suddenly said, "Dad, Shin-chan, I want to eat sukiyaki too!"
Hiroshi and Akira exchanged a glance and laughed. Hiroshi patted Shin-chan's head and said, "Okay, okay, when we get home later, we'll enjoy this delicious sukiyaki together."
The group carried loads of groceries and walked home, their faces beaming with happiness.
Although there were some minor setbacks along the way, at this moment, they felt it was all worthwhile. Back home, Misae had already prepared the pots and pans, and the family sat together to prepare sukiyaki. Hiroshi was in charge of cooking, while Misae provided guidance, and Akira and Shin-chan excitedly helped arrange the ingredients. Soon, the house was filled with the enticing aroma of sukiyaki, making everyone's mouths water.
"Hehe~ It's so great to be my dad's son~"
"It would be so great to be your wife~" Shin-chan said with a grin as he looked at the pile of meat in front of him.
"Really? Really? Well, never mind." Remembering something, Hiroshi didn't say much more. Let the family eat comfortably.
"But how come you can buy such good meat with such a small budget?" Misae looked at Hiroshi with some curiosity, but seeing Hiroshi glancing at Akira from time to time, she understood. Oh well, a few times doesn't matter.
Hiroshi, however, stubbornly insisted, "Hehe~ because I successfully bought the meat during the limited-time sale."
Hearing him say that, Misae immediately raised an eyebrow: "Oh, then please go buy it next week too~"
"Wow~ No wonder he's Dad, what a great guy!" Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi with longing.
"Please, have mercy on me." Hiroshi slumped speechlessly on the table. Now he understood; Misae knew.
"Alright, let's eat!"
"I'm about to start~"
"It's so delicious!"
"Hehe~"
