So it was the pig shed that collapsed, right?
Lin Xiangrong didn't find out the truth from the clues for a while. She hesitated for a while: "After the wet wood is dried, it will be very brittle and cannot bear the weight and then break, right?"
This does not mean that people with common sense will know this, but few people realize that, especially the pig shed is not important. Even if it collapses, as long as it does not collapse in the center, the matter is not serious.
So it doesn’t matter what kind of wood is used, but if it is placed in a house, there will be problems. There are many valuables in the house, and there may be children and elderly people resting. If it collapses, it will hurt people, so the material selection is more rigorous.
After Zhou Zhaodi heard about it, she thought about it carefully and found that wet wood is indeed easy to break. She looked up and saw that several main logs used in the ceiling were wet wood, and they were covered with layers of oil-proof cloth. Finally, another layer of hay was pressed.
There is another layer of tarpaulin on top, and then I use wood to press it on top. It is indeed not light. I put a thick layer of snow on it. The snow melts and condenses into water. The water freezes into ice and is poured down layer by layer. , the top layer of wood must have been frozen by water, forming a solid layer of ice.
She thought of the house collapse caused by the heavy snow mentioned by her daughter.
There are no big problems in the front and back rooms, it's just that the tiles are offset and aligned. Yesterday, my second brother Lin Yuanxi said that it's not a big deal if the tiles are skewed and it won't cause collapse due to heavy snow.
But some places do need to be repaired, otherwise there will be some dangers. If you are unlucky, something will happen, so it is normal to repair it.
But what if something goes wrong, in addition to the unlucky front room, there is also a pig shed?
Zhou Zhaodi's thoughts drifted.
The front room existed before she got married. It would take at least ten years to move forward, and it would take more than fifty years to move forward. It is normal for the wood to rot and collapse.
The back house and several side rooms in the backyard are all new houses built about ten years ago. Only the materials used were cheap and cheap at the beginning. Now they may not be able to withstand it and need repairs. Only the pig shed is the latest one.
Thinking that the wet wood was easy to break, Zhou Zhaodi felt cold. She jumped out of the pen, picked up her daughter with one hand and ran out. As she ran, she called Lin Yuannan to go to the pig shed to take a look.
She handed her daughter over to San Fu, then turned to the confused Lin Yuanan and said, "Our pig shed is always heated by fire, just to prevent the pigs from getting sick. The top is made of oil-proof cloth, hay and wooden boards. Ice can easily form when the heat hits."
Lin Yuannan thought there was nothing wrong. It was like this before. Isn't everything fine?
Why were you allowed to go to the pig shed today?
"You have forgotten that the wood we originally used was soaked in the floods for several days this year. The wet wood is already crispy after it is dried in the sun. Now we go to the pig shed and dry it with hot air. What if it cannot withstand the ice?"
Zhou Zhaodi rolled her eyes at him: "The ice layer is strong and heavy, and it is covered with a layer of heavy snow. The wet wood is already very brittle after drying. If it cannot bear the weight and collapses -"
What if you are unlucky and hit a pig?
Although the family does not make money from pigs, the chickens, pheasants, wild ducks and hares inside can make money. These are all the hard work of my daughter. Even if they are slightly damaged, she will feel distressed. How could they be broken?
"Then let me go and take a look." Lin Yuannan heard that this was indeed the case. They took it so naturally that they forgot that the wood had been soaked in water for several days this year and would definitely not be usable.
He climbed up the ladder and pushed the snow to a corner to reveal the ice layer below. When he looked down, he saw that the ice layer was thicker than the palm of his hand, and it was too connected with the wood to lift it up.
When he got down and climbed up the ladder to take a look, Lin Yuannan felt a chill in his heart. The wood soaked in water had already become crispy and cracked after continuous drying.
If Zhou Zhaodi hadn't reminded them, they might have waited until a few heavy snows passed and the pig shed collapsed before they came to clean it up.
He frowned and called his two brothers. The three men gathered together and talked for only a few minutes before deciding to reinforce it with wood.
Now we definitely can’t tear it down and rebuild it, so we can only reinforce it to prevent it from really collapsing.
Lin Yuanxi said with a smile while handing over the tools: "My eldest niece is really far-sighted. If she hadn't mentioned it, the pig shed collapsed in the middle of the night. Maybe we wouldn't have discovered it until the pigs got sick from the cold."
Hearing this, Lin Yuannan looked very proud. He didn't say anything, but the aura emanating from his body was that my daughter is awesome.
Lin Yuandong remained silent, wrapping the rope around and around, and even reinforcing it to make sure nothing would happen, then went up to push away the snow.
"We can't make too big a fire in the future." After hearing the news, Lin Dawei came over to inspect the area, pointed out a few problems, and seasoned his three sons with shortcuts, and left with Shi Shiran behind his back.
After he went back and told his three daughters-in-law that the pig shed should not be kept too warm, he went to see his little granddaughter.
When I arrived, I found my granddaughter sitting on the kang, reading a book. She seemed to have been reading it over and over for a year without finishing it.
After reading it, Lin Dawei recognized the two words on the cover.
He asked: "Why do you keep reading this book?"
Lin Xiangrong said with a smile: "If you want to understand a book, you must first make the book thicker, then make the book thinner, and finally summarize the essence in a few words. Only then can you understand a book."
"Appraisal" is an extremely high-level book. If you want to read the whole book, understand it from beginning to end, and use it flexibly, you need a lot of energy and real practical application.
She could only say that she had learned very well in her previous life, but when she came to this book, the contents were shocking and overturned what she had learned several times, directly giving Lin Xiangrong a lot of inspiration and new progress.
Let her continue to improve bit by bit, and be able to judge the value of antiques and treasures in her hands through a subtle detail.
If it were the original.
She will definitely use many tools and time to determine, and even need to be judged by peers or teachers to determine the basis of this thing.
But it's different now.
Lin Xiangrong can give the answer himself.
Lin Dawei didn't understand, but it didn't stop him from knowing his granddaughter's progress. If this happened in the past, it would definitely be Wen Quxing and a talented woman descending to earth.
He nodded, took out a piece of rock candy wrapped in paper from his pocket, and handed it over with a hand full of wrinkles, scars and calluses: "My dear granddaughter is awesome, this is a reward from me."
Lin Xiangrong didn't mind the rock candy which seemed to have been left out for too long, causing some of it to melt. She put it directly into her mouth, opened her beautiful cat eyes at Lin Dawei, smiled cutely and threw herself into his arms: "Master! Thank you, I like eating rock candy very much."
Lin Dawei said: "There is a lot of food at home now, and the harvest this year is not good, but our family has saved a lot of food, so you don't have to spend your own money to buy it back."
He smiled gently, took his granddaughter's hand to the front room, and warned him several times: "You should spend your own money, and don't keep supporting the family. Your father and the others are not dead yet!"
