In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

Chapter 1290: Energy and Preventing the Greenhouse Effect

Some news is being broadcast on TV.

"If everyone pays attention to small things in their daily lives like this, they can contribute significantly to preventing global warming while also saving their household expenses. It's truly killing two birds with one stone."

Listening to the host's words, Mei Ya was immediately moved: "Oh, so that's how it is~ Hey, what are you doing?" Turning around, Mei Ya saw Shin-chan dressed in a dazzling light bulb, and she didn't know what role he was playing.

"Because I'm the Lightbulb Devil now~Devil, Devil~" Xiao Xin twisted his body and the lightbulb on his body continued to glow. Mingxu watched worriedly from the side: "Don't move, it's connected to the electricity!"

"Hehe~" Xiaoxin continued to twist without caring. Mingxu was about to unplug the plug, but Meisai had already pulled it out.

"Stop playing that stupid game," Mei-ya said angrily. "Where did this kid learn this technique? So many light bulbs connected in series? Huh?" Suddenly, Mei-ya thought of something and looked at Xiao-xu beside her. Could it be Xiao-xu who did this?

"...I was the one who connected the light bulbs in series, but I didn't know he was going to do this." Mingxu said helplessly. When he found out that Xiaoxin was doing this, he had been trying to stop him.

"Oh, that's annoying~" Shin-chan looked shy.

Xiao Kui was quite happy to see Xiao Xin looking like a light bulb and wanted to go over to play, but the light bulb went out and she suddenly felt bored.

Meiya knew what Xiaokui meant by looking at her expression and shook her head, "No, didn't they just say that on TV? You must never waste electricity again!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Xiao Xin exclaimed three times in a row.

".. ? Why are you so surprised?" Mingxu asked Xiaoxin speechlessly.

"This time I was surprised three times like a cartoon, because mom has made up her mind to say goodbye to waste." Shin-chan looked at Mei-ya with surprise. In his opinion, the biggest waste in the family is mom.

Mei Ya instantly came in front of Xiao Xin, grabbed Xiao Xin, and spun her magic fist again, spinning it towards Xiao Xin's head: "You mean that mom has a lot of fat on her body, likes to spread useless gossip, and sometimes is very wasteful with money, am I right?"

"Ah~" Shin-chan cried out in pain, but Misae only let him go after she had tortured him enough.

However, since Meiya thought so, it must be done. So, at night, when Guangzhi returned home, he saw that the house was pitch black. He was a little confused. He opened the door and walked in. Well, it was indeed pitch black...

"Well, I'm back." Looking at the dark room, Guangzhi was confused: "Is there a power outage?" He tried to press the light switch, and when the light bulb lit up, Guangzhi knew that his guess was wrong.

Xiaoxin's voice came from inside the house: "Our family is very poor, we don't have even a dollar, but we are still very happy, even though we don't have even a dollar~"

"Okay, okay, we're not that poor. Don't talk nonsense!" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin helplessly. At this time, he saw the lights in the corridor light up. He was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Oh, Dad is back."

"Dad is back." Xiaoxin and Xiaokui looked at Guangzhi and shouted. Of course, Xiaokui's voice was still babbling.

Looking at the three people in the dark living room, Guangzhi was a little confused: "What are you doing? Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"Mom said we can't turn on the lights." Mingxu spread his hands.

"Yeah." Xiaoxin nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." Xiaokui had the same expression.

Now, Guangzhi was even more confused: "Huh?"

At this time, Mei Ya's eerie voice came: "Husband, you turned on the light in the corridor, don't waste it, turn it off quickly."

"..Okay..." Guangzhi's mouth twitched. Wow, you are really good. He sighed, turned off the lights in the corridor, changed out of his suit, and then the family sat at the table to eat.

"Mom, please turn on the light when we eat. It's so dark..." Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin as he stretched the chopsticks towards him again, and said to Meiya speechlessly.

"That's right. In order to prevent the global greenhouse effect, we need to save energy. This is true, but this is too much." Guangzhi also picked up the food he had dropped from the table with his hands and put it into his mouth.

"What's wrong with that! This way, the electricity bill will be reduced, which is good for our family!" Meiya said seriously.

"But someone always spends money on clothes~" Shin-chan looked at Misae and started to complain.

"That's right! Don't talk nonsense! I'm seriously thinking about the environmental problems on Earth!" Misae accurately pinched Shinnosuke's cheek with chopsticks in the dark and retorted, but her voice sounded a little guilty.

"Hey, what is this? It's not cold at all." Guangzhi picked up the beer, twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked at Meiya speechlessly. Why is it so difficult for him to drink something cold!

Mei Ya said seriously, "To save electricity, I took out all the unnecessary things in the refrigerator."

"Hey~" Guangzhi put down the beer. It wouldn't taste good if it wasn't cold.

Mingxu spread his hands. This thing is completely meaningless. To be honest, 10% of the people control 97% or 98% of the resources. If these people can save some, it will help to combat the greenhouse effect.

Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi and said, "Dad, if the Earth were to be destroyed, what would happen to the store that sells globes?"

"Oh, this makes me think that it will be useless to receive pension in the future. It's really annoying. Although my salary is already higher than most people, I still have to deduct pension first~" Thinking about Guangzhi made me feel tired.

"Dad, what sound will it make when the earth is destroyed?" Shin-chan continued to ask.

"Ah? That's the sound of destruction." Guangzhi said uncertainly.

"..." Mei Ya slammed the table speechlessly: "Listen carefully, everyone! I'm talking to you about the problems of the earth's environment. What nonsense are you talking about? You should also think seriously about the problems of the earth!"

"Really? Will humans really perish? Huh? If the earth really perishes, then the fruit of my love with sister Nana will be gone." Shin-chan suddenly thought of Nanako.

"My Xiaokui will suffer too." Guangzhi looked at Xiaokui with heartache.

"Yes, that's right." Looking at their reactions, Meiya was very satisfied. As for Xiaoxu, well, forget it. Xiaoxu is a frugal person.

“I will work hard!”

"Let's work together!" Then, the eyes of several people met, and Mingxu's mouth twitched. Well, since you want to do it, let's see how long you can persist.

So, after finishing the meal and cleaning up the dishes, everyone unplugged all the unused electrical appliances and turned off the lights.

"I heard that leaving the plug plugged in all the time will waste a lot of electricity." Mei Ya said confidently.

"But, it will be troublesome if we pull them all out..." Mingxu looked at her uncertainly.

"Of course not!" Mei Ya said without hesitation. However, the next day, after she woke up and watched the TV recording, the corners of her mouth twitched: "It seems that removing them all will indeed cause trouble..."

There was no other way, so Meiya had to keep re-debugging it.

"Ah, what's wrong with you?" Guangzhi asked in confusion as he looked at Meisai's actions.

"I wanted to schedule a recording, but I forgot how to reset the time." Meiya said embarrassedly.

"Mom is such a confused person." Shin-chan complained to Misae.
