Chapter 484 Summer is almost over~
Chapter 484 Summer is almost over~
"Hey, Meiya!" Inside the house, Guangzhi looked at the box in the closet for a long time but couldn't figure out what was inside, so he called Meiya.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Meiya walked over when she heard the voice, and Mingxu and Xiaoxin followed behind her.
"What's this box?" As soon as they came in, Guangzhi pointed to a box in the closet and asked, "Is it my stuff?"
"It doesn't look like it." Mingxu and Xiaoxin took a closer look and shook their heads. There was a strange pattern on the box and they really couldn't tell what it was.
"Oh, this is something from a very special period." Meiya said when she saw the pattern on the box.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Xin asked in confusion.
"It means that the things inside can be used for emergency situations in special circumstances, such as compressed biscuits and water during an earthquake, which are emergency food." Mingxu said simply.
"Yes, that's right, and it contains things that need to be used in disasters or emergencies. There are food, batteries and other things." Meiya nodded.
"Since these are emergency supplies, they won't be of any use if they are hidden in a place like this." Guangzhi squatted down to take a look and shook his head.
"Indeed, it's troublesome to take it out here." Mingxu and Xiaoxin spread their hands in unison.
Sure enough, when they saw Guangzhi push the door to the side, they subconsciously took a step back, and then the quilt above was pressed down in an instant. Guangzhi was unable to dodge and was successfully pressed underneath.
"Ah!" Guangzhi only had time to utter a sound. Mingxu and Xiaoxin touched their chests and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call, as they were almost crushed underneath.
"Oh, Dad is in an emergency!" After reacting, Shin-chan shouted at Hiroshi who was pinned down.
"I'm sorry... I originally placed it at the entrance. But I felt it took up a lot of space there, so..." Misae said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I was too careless..." Guangzhi also realized that this place could not be opened so easily.
"Okay, Dad, come out." Mingxu and Xiaoxin pulled Guangzhi out from among these things, and then everyone worked together to move the box out, put the things back into the closet, and then closed it again.
"There's a portable radio, water, and canned food in here..." Guangzhi said as he opened the box and looked at the things inside.
Mingxu and Xiaoxin looked at the things inside and picked them up to play with them casually.
"Hey, Mom, the expiration date of this can of food is almost up." Mingxu picked up a can and looked at the time speechlessly. If Guangzhi hadn't seen this box, perhaps all the food would have been wasted again.
"That's right, these are almost time." Guangzhi looked at the other cans and said speechlessly.
"That's normal. The canned food in our house is always kept until it's almost expired." Meiya said calmly.
"Ah? Why is this happening..." Guangzhi said speechlessly.
"Dad, this doesn't light up anymore." Shin-chan played with the flashlight for a while, and then it went out. He looked at Guangzhi in confusion and said.
"Ah?" Guangzhi took it and checked it in confusion.
"No way, there should be batteries installed in here." Mei Ya said in confusion.
Guangzhi didn't say anything. He turned on the flashlight, took out the battery, observed it and said speechlessly: "Look, the battery is exposed. It's a miracle that it can still light up for a while just now."
"Ah?" Meiya smiled awkwardly, wondering if the emergency supplies she had collected did not play any role in the emergency. . .
"Oh, it turns out that Battery Brother can also steal urine." Shin-chan shouted when he saw this.
"And this is poisonous. If you throw it away carelessly, it will harm the environment." Mingxu spread his hands.
"Then what should we do?"
"This needs to be taken to a place that specializes in recycling batteries and handled by professionals." Mingxu shrugged.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Everyone nodded.
"Also, although there are candles in here, there are no matches or lighters. Well, it's not suitable to put lighters here. So, I would like to ask, how do you light it like this?" Guangzhi looked at Meiya and teased.
"How do we order?" Shin-chan asked, imitating Hiroshi's example.
"Um... for example, rubbing two sticks together to make fire..." Meiya said awkwardly.
"Miss Mei-ya is really humorous." Guangzhi raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, Mom meant well." Mingxu tried to smooth things over.
"That's what I mean." Meiya nodded.
"Make a list at the back and put another one there." Mingxu spread his hands.
"Yeah. But what should we do with these now?" Meiya asked, looking at the cans that were about to expire.
"Just eat it, eat it today." Guangzhi rolled his eyes at her and then, as if he had thought of something, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, right, let's practice!"
"Drill?" Several people looked at Guangzhi curiously.
"In order to cope with emergencies, we need to create extraordinary situations and practice." Guangzhi said excitedly.
"That makes sense. It's better to do some preventive drills beforehand than to panic when the situation really arises." Mingxu said, stroking his chin.
"Yeah, if we had had this kind of experience before, we wouldn't be so flustered." Meiya also nodded.
"Then today is our family's disaster prevention day!"
"Okay~" Everyone raised their hands in agreement.
"Well, the Nohara family, get ready to gather!" Hiroshi said, standing in the yard and shouting to everyone.
"Here they come!" Everyone stood in the yard, and Xiaokui was held in Mingxu's arms.
"One!" Guangzhi shouted.
"Two!" Meiya followed.
"Three!" Mingxu shouted.
"Four~" Xiaoxin followed.
"Aiya~" Xiaokui shouted five.
"Woof!" Xiaobai said he was calling six.
"Okay, everyone, now we are going to start the emergency drill." Guangzhi continued to shout.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded, looking serious.
"Very good, the current situation is as follows: Is the power completely out?" Hiroshi said, looking at Misae.
"The power has completely stopped!" Meiya nodded and ran into the house to unplug the plug. Of course, some special ones were left untouched for the time being, but a sticky note was put on them to indicate that they had been unplugged. After doing all this, she also turned off the gas.
"The gas is completely turned off, and the tap water is also turned off." Meiya said after turning off the main switch in the yard.
"Very good, now we will treat these resources as if they are gone! Before these resources are restored, we have to find a way to maintain our lives! Do you understand?" Guangzhi looked at everyone and shouted seriously.
"Yes! Yes, Dad."
"You have to call me captain today!"
"So reliable~" Everyone looked at Guangzhi in front of them.
"Hehe~" Guangzhi laughed.
Then he put out a barbecue rack and sorted out the matching items from the box nearby.
"Wow, it looks like we're camping." Shin-chan couldn't help but shout when he saw this scene.
"It looks pretty good." Meiya also said with a smile.
"It's very luxurious, right? Camping supplies also have unexpected uses in emergencies." Guangzhi said as he took out a kerosene lamp from the side.
"Dad also has unexpected uses." Shin-chan said casually when he saw this.
"It's useful sometimes." Meiya said with a smile.
"Ahem." Mingxu coughed to remind them, and the two of them stopped talking when they noticed Guangzhi's face.
"You guys are really going too far!" Guangzhi rolled his eyes at them and raised the lamp: "I'm like a lantern that illuminates the darkness! Become a hero who protects my family!"
"Wow~ Dad is so handsome~" everyone shouted when they saw this.
"Huh?" Guangzhi found that the light didn't light up, looked at it in surprise, and twitched his mouth: "The wick seems to be useless..."
"Is there anything that can be used? No. What about the fuel? There is none too. The kerosene can't be used either..."
"The future is dark." Xiaoxin shook his head.
"I think so too..." Meiya said speechlessly.
"It seems that the preparations are still not sufficient." Mingxu shook his head.
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now!" Guangzhi coughed twice and stood up: "Everyone listen carefully, this is completely different from our normal life!"
"Oh." Several people nodded and continued to look at Guangzhi.
"The most important thing is of course water! Just like these mineral waters, we must never waste them. This is our only remaining water resource!" Guangzhi said, holding up a bottle of mineral water.
"Then I'll go to the refrigerator and get some cold soda." Xiao Xinyan stood up and was about to walk into the house.
"Wait!" Mingxu's mouth twitched: "You forgot that the refrigerator is not working now, and there is no soda in it."
"And the temperature inside the refrigerator will rise after a power outage, so it can only be opened when necessary." Guangzhi nodded and said, "In an emergency, the refrigerator can only be used to store important items."
"Oh, I'm going to the bathroom." Meiya stood up and walked towards the toilet.
"Wait a minute! You are not allowed to use the toilet!" Guangzhi hurriedly stopped Meiya upon seeing this.
"Ah?! Why!?" Meiya was shocked.
"The water supply is cut off. How can I use the toilet if it can't flush?" Guangzhi said helplessly.
"...What should I do then?" Meiya clamped her legs together, looking a little anxious.
"Wait a moment, I'll help you dig a simple toilet." Guangzhi said, holding up a small shovel.
"No way! Even in a disaster drill, the restroom should be an exception!" Meiya crossed her arms and said, "Otherwise I won't participate!"
"Okay, got it. I'll make an exception for once! You can use the bathroom!" Guangzhi said helplessly.
"That's right, let's go." Meiya said and walked into the bathroom.
"Captain, is this okay?" Xiaoxin and Mingxu looked at Guangzhi. Actually, a temporary toilet was the right choice.
"There's nothing we can do, that man is a general." Guangzhi said helplessly.
"Tsk~" The two waved their hands and sat down.
As time passed, the sun gradually set, but the remaining heat was still a little unbearable for them who were already accustomed to air conditioning.
Mingxu helped Xiaokui fan herself, but the air she fanned out was also hot air. Xiaokui looked a little mad.
"It's so hot, let's turn on the air conditioner." Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi Misae with sweat all over his face.
"No, there's a power outage now." Meiya shook her head decisively and refused.
"Electric fan."
"You forgot, there's a power outage now and all electrical appliances cannot be used." Mingxu rolled his eyes at Xiaoxin.
"Let me fan you." Guangzhi said as he picked up the fan and fanned Shin-chan.
"It's not cool." Xiao Xin said helplessly as he felt the hot wind blowing towards him.
"Or maybe just go take a shower in the bathroom." Guangzhi suggested helplessly.
"There's no water." Mingxu spread his hands. Although the toilet could be used, the bathroom was not within this range.
"Ah? Meiya, did you drain the bath water?" Guangzhi looked at Meiya in confusion.
"Because I cleaned the bathroom this morning." Meiya said with her head supported by her hands, her clothes were all wet.
"The water in the bathtub must be kept so that it can be used in an emergency." Guangzhi said helplessly.
"Okay." Meiya said impatiently: "By the way, what about our dinner? The gas doesn't work now, and there's no electricity."
"I have gas." Xiaoxin said as he lifted his butt and started to fart.
"Ah! You little bastard!" Mingxu and the others hurriedly hid out. It was already hot, and you were releasing poisonous gas...
"Okay, let's make a fire and cook. There happens to be some cooking utensils for camping in the wild here." Guangzhi said as he took out an iron cage.
"And the matches?"
"We have some charcoal at home. If we prepare some waste paper, we should have no problem cooking a meal. Xiaoxu and Xiaoxin, come and help." Guangzhi waved his hand.
"Okay!" The two nodded.
So, while watching Guangzhi cooking in the iron cage, Mingxu and Xiaoxin used waste newspapers as firewood and handed them to Guangzhi.
"I didn't expect this would work." Mei Ya said in surprise as she watched the scene.
"As long as you use your brain, you can do anything." Guangzhi waved his hand.
"Dad also has unexpected talents." Shin-chan said casually.
"Unexpected is redundant." Guangzhi said unhappily.
"It seems that in primitive society, this would be a very reliable husband." Mei Ya said with a smile.
"Emmm, not necessarily." Mingxu thought about Guangzhi's performance in the primitive world before, which was somewhat hard to describe.
"What?" Guangzhi rolled his eyes at them. "But if there really is a disaster, those people will definitely have a hard time. They are our most lovely people."
Looking at the stars in the sky, everyone nodded.
Dinner was ready soon, but I didn’t control the heat well and it was a little stuttering.
"It's not pleasant to eat in the dark. You can't see clearly at all." Meiya said, looking at the faint light of the candle on the table.
"But it's also a kind of elegance." Mingxu said with a smile.
"Sorry, it's a little hard." Guangzhi scratched his head.
"It's okay. It's a rare opportunity to eat rice with rice crust. It's quite good." Meiya said with a smile.
"But the canned food is all fish, which is a bit uncomfortable." Guangzhi said helplessly as he looked at the canned fish on the side.
After pouring some feed for Xiaobai, Mingxu and the others continued to eat. Xiaoxin secretly entered the house at some point and took out a can of crab and started eating it. Everyone joined in to grab the can, after all, the can was already opened.
Listening to the sounds of summer, everyone fell silent.
"It seems that summer is about to end." Meiya said with a smile.
"Yeah, well, the drill is almost over," Hiroshi said, standing up.
"Okay~" After everyone put away their things, they returned to the house. They turned on the air conditioner and ran water to take a shower. As expected, people still cannot live without electricity and water~
It's so comfortable to take out the cold drinks in the refrigerator and drink them in big gulps~
