Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 76

“I will go to the grave and ask the ancestors to take back the rain for you?” Old Lady Yang looked at Jiang Lizheng and said, “Look at what you are saying.

Burn a kang to save a house? Why don't you burn a kang to save a village? You really fell into a dung pit after drinking too much! What do you think your son is, a god? I'll tear down the sky and use it as a blanket for you? You don't know how to repair your own house, and now it's like this. When you go up the mountain, the house has no people at all and it really collapses. You can cry to your ancestors and ask them to turn a house into a house for you?"

Jiang Yipei secretly gave his mother a thumbs up.

Old Lady Yang was unmoved and said to him, "Don't think that the villagers are as stupid as your father. How could they not cherish the house where they live? Maybe someone has already hung rice stalks outside the wall by now."

He then said to Jiang Lizheng: "But there may be people who don't expect it. We have organized a patrol team. Let Lao Er go. He has been hiding for so many days. It's time for him to do some work. Let the patrol team build a rack and hang rice stalks to keep out the rain."

"Anyway, I have a kang in my house, so if you don't want to sleep, just sleep on the floor!"

As the old saying goes, listen to advice and you will have a full meal.

When the tide comes, there is no one to replace it.

Old Mrs. Yang listens to her son.

"Burn!" Jiang Lizheng didn't dare to say a word in reply. He immediately hid away after answering: "I'll go find Lao Er!"

Jiang Yipei: “…”

He really didn't expect that after being scolded by his wife, he would also be scolded by his mother, and his father was scolded and ran away just like him...

But I have to say that what the old lady said makes sense. It is said that women hold up half the sky. The wisdom of ancient women should not be underestimated!

"Big Boss, you should go back and take a rest. Let your father and brother handle these things from now on. Look how tired you are in the past half month. Your cheeks have become monkey-like. Our Jiang family has done so much for the clan. We would not be afraid even if we went to the underworld to meet our ancestors. We can't ask you to follow us around for everything! If you get exhausted, who will be responsible?"

Jiang Yipei was instantly moved to tears, this is truly my mother!

Then he wanted to go back and lie down. As soon as he got back to the room, Jiang Xiumian was discussing desiccant with Jiang Xiaomi. Jiang Xiaomi remembered that the main ingredient of desiccant was calcium chloride, and Jiang Xiumian advocated the use of calcium oxide, which was common and easily available.

When he talked about the dehumidification principle, he also ridiculed Jiang Xiaomi: "I told you that you really wasted your time studying, but you still refuse to admit it. CaO+H2O→Ca(OH)2, quicklime reacts with water to become slaked lime, you didn't even remember such a simple equation? You're jumping around in the village, didn't you see that the lower half of the exterior walls of the houses in the village are white?"

"In this era, there was no cement. Using slaked lime to plaster the exterior walls could make them waterproof to a certain extent. Don't you understand? The reaction between quicklime and water is irreversible. No matter how much water is added to slaked lime, it will not turn into quicklime, thus achieving the purpose of waterproofing."

Jiang Xiaomi suddenly felt the dead memories begin to attack her, and then awakened the long-forgotten chemical equation: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Jiang Xiumian asked: "Dad, where can I find quicklime in the village?"

As a construction worker, he must be familiar with lime. He just didn't think of it for a moment. Moreover, quicklime would not be wasted when it was turned into mulled lime. It could be used to plaster the walls, and the probability of collapse of the mud house would be reduced. But he really didn't know where to find it in the village.

"Then go ask Grandpa, Xiaomi, and ask Xiaobai to see if he can buy it in the mall."

Both of them were sent out by him. Jiang Xiumian felt that he had finally stood up. It was too uncomfortable to be bullied every day.
