Chapter 1548 Under the Typhoon's Fury
Chapter 1548 Under the Typhoon's Fury
"Okay, stop talking. Go change your clothes, and Mom, hurry upstairs and collect the laundry! The wind seems to be getting stronger!" Mingxu said hurriedly.
"Ah! Come with me to the second floor!" Misae was taken aback, and then remembered her purpose. She hurriedly led Mingxu up to the second floor.
When they got upstairs, the rain was pounding against the glass door. The two hurriedly prepared to go out and collect the laundry. After quickly changing his clothes, Xiaoxin also ran upstairs to help.
Looking at the situation outside, Xiao Kui downstairs casually opened the glass door, and all the rain rushed in. Seeing this, Xiao Kui happily rolled around in the rain, and the floor was instantly soaked.
Xiao Kui excitedly opened her mouth to the rain outside, occasionally spitting out a mouthful of water.
Seeing this, Xiaobai rushed over, trying to pull Xiaokui away, but the dog's strength was limited against a small baby. Now Xiaobai was getting anxious.
Upstairs, Mingxu and Meiya were also tidying up the clothes on the balcony. However, the two little ones were too small, so Meiya had to tidy them up and then hand them over to the two to carry inside.
"I'll go give you the clothes now, and you two can put them in your room. Do you understand?" Misae asked the two little ones.
"Okay! I'll go give the clothes to Mom right now, and then Mom will slowly throw the clothes out, right?" Shin-chan said without hesitation.
"..." Misae looked at Shin-chan speechlessly.
Mingxu hurriedly said, "Mom, hurry up! The wind is getting stronger!"
"Okay!" Misae also realized that there was no need to pay attention to Shin-chan, as long as Asahi could understand.
She quickly opened the balcony door, and a gust of wind, accompanied by large raindrops, immediately rushed in, whipping her hair and making her face sticky. Misae gritted her teeth and reached for the clothesline, but the moment her fingers touched her wet shirt, the wind pushed her off balance.
Mingxu swiftly caught her, while he leaned out halfway against the wind, grabbed a sweater and pants from the clothes rack, and stuffed them haphazardly into his arms.
Shin-chan squatted by the doorway, trying to use clothespins to hold his socks that were being blown around by the wind. Instead, he ended up getting his face covered in socks. He angrily crumpled the socks into a ball and stuffed them into Mingxu's arms: Even the cape of Action Kamen wasn't this hard to deal with!
With Mingxu's help, Meiya carried most of the clothes inside. When Meiya reached for the remaining underwear, the wind picked up, and she almost lost her grip. However, she managed to grab the last piece of underwear by a narrow margin, then slammed the door shut, and everyone else went inside.
relieved.
"Finally, all the clothes have been brought in."
"Yes, but we have to wash it all over again." Misae sighed helplessly.
"Well, it's better than having my clothes blown away by the wind, right?" Mingxu shrugged.
“That’s true.” Misae nodded in agreement, looked at the raging wind outside, shook her head, and the three of them began to go downstairs.
As they descended the stairs, they heard Xiaobai's sharp cry mixed with the giggles of a baby. Meiya's heart skipped a beat, and she rushed to the living room, only to gasp in shock—Xiao Kui was sitting in the puddles, splashing water everywhere with her little hands, while Xiaobai anxiously circled around her, its muddy paw prints leaving a trail of tiny plum blossoms on the floor.
"Ah! Kui, what are you doing?!" Misae rushed over, and Mingxu also acted quickly, closing the glass door to stop the wind and rain from entering the house.
Misae picked up Himawari and sighed, "You're all soaked. It's so cold, aren't you cold? You'll catch a cold if you don't change your clothes soon! Shin-chan, can you wipe the carpet for me?" As she spoke, Misae led Himawari into the bedroom, and then said to Shin-chan.
"Okay!" Xiaoxin nodded, squatted down, and blew on the puddle.
"Hey, hey, hey, who told you to blow with your mouth? Go get a towel to wipe it!" Mingxu looked at Xiaoxin speechlessly, then got a few dry towels and wiped Xiaoxin's face with him.
"Oh, oh~" Xiaoxin nodded and cooperated with Mingxu.
Outside, Hiroshi held an umbrella and braved the wind and rain to hurry home.
"Oh dear! Damn it! The wind is so strong! It suddenly got this strong!" Hiroshi braved the wind and rain, folding up his umbrella. With this level of wind and rain, the umbrella was useless. However, suddenly, with a snap, a piece of underwear flew into his face.
"What is this?" Hiroshi asked, puzzled. He took the item down and realized it was underwear. He shook his head, let go of the underwear, and let it fly away. He couldn't possibly take underwear back with him, could he?
He hurried home, and as soon as he entered the house, he shouted, "I'm home!"
"Ah, you're back. It must be raining heavily outside," Misae said with a smile to Hiroshi.
"It's not just raining heavily outside, there's also a piece of underwear floating over here," Hiroshi said helplessly, taking off his soaking wet clothes.
"Underwear, my clothes almost flew off too, but luckily I managed to grab them in the end." Misae was taken aback and said with some emotion.
"Yes, the wind and rain were really too strong. Luckily you brought it in quickly." Hiroshi nodded in agreement.
Mingxu was wiping the floor when Xiaoxin suddenly looked up as if he remembered something and asked: "Dad, did you see Action Kamen flying a kite on your way back?"
Hiroshi paused in taking off his socks, then exaggeratedly waved his hand: How could that be! Flying a kite in this weather is simply insane! But speaking of strange things, I just saw a stray cat wearing a little yellow hat on the street corner, clinging to a lamppost and refusing to let go, looking just like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll shaped like a sunny day) hanging there.
As he spoke, he tiptoed and peered into the living room. "Hey, where's Xiaobai? Didn't you let Xiaobai in?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiaobai ran out from the corner and called out to Guangzhi a few times.
"Oh, I brought it in. That's good. It's not suitable for Xiaobai to be outside in this heavy rain." Guangzhi nodded as he looked at Xiaobai.
"Yes, I saw the rain getting heavier, so I brought Xiaobai in," Mingxu said with a smile.
Misae brought over freshly boiled ginger soup and handed it to everyone: "Have some to warm yourselves up. This typhoon is really tough on us today." Hiroshi took a big gulp from the cup, sticking out his tongue from the heat: "Phew—this ginger soup is even stronger than the typhoon!" Oh, by the way, when I came back just now, I think I saw the aunt next door picking up blankets downstairs. I guess she hung them out to dry this morning but didn't bring them in.
After wiping the last piece of carpet, Mingxu suddenly pointed towards the balcony and exclaimed: "Look! The trees outside have been blown askew!"
Everyone crowded to the window and saw that the cherry blossom tree in the corner of the courtyard was bent into an arc by the strong wind, and a few withered leaves on the branches were flying away like kites with broken strings.
Shin-chan suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Action Kamen must be pulling a kite string in the sky!"
Hiroshi laughed and ruffled his hair: "After the typhoon stops, Daddy will take you to the park to fly a kite, but we have to choose a sunny day." Before he finished speaking, the living room chandelier flickered twice. Misae quickly hugged Himawari: "The power might go out. Asahi, go find some candles."
"Okay." Everyone prepared for the power outage, watching the sky outside the window grow darker and darker, raindrops pounding against the glass like dense drumbeats, and the faint cracking sound of tree branches breaking in the distance.
"Wow, it's huge!"
"Yes."
"However, it doesn't matter. Let's finish our meal early and get some rest today."
"I agree!"
