This feeling made him feel a little breathless, as if some intuition hidden deep in his heart was telling him that things were not as simple as they seemed.

He recalled every step of today, the fixing of bamboo poles, the laying of plastic sheets, the support of the shed, everything was completed step by step without any obvious mistakes. However, it was this "perfection" that made Li Xiangqian more and more uneasy. He knew that experience told him that there was never a shortcut to farming, and any wrong step could lead to all previous efforts being wasted. Suddenly, there was a low thunder in the sky. Li Xiangqian looked up and saw that the dark clouds in the distance were gathering rapidly, and a tense atmosphere filled the air. This kind of weather change is not uncommon in this season, but it made him feel even more uneasy at this time.

"Can this shed really withstand the heavy rain?" Li Xiangqian couldn't help but ask himself. Although he had tried his best to consider every possible detail during the construction of the shed, it now seemed that he was still a little worried about the waterproofness of the plastic sheet, the stability of the bamboo poles, and the overall structure of the shed.

He slowly walked to the edge of the vegetable shed, reached out and touched the edge of the plastic sheet, and felt a slight vibration. Perhaps it was because of the increased wind, or perhaps his inner anxiety magnified these subtle changes. In either case, Li Xiangqian could not ignore the doubts in his heart.

At this time, Qin Huairu came over with a bowl of steaming hot soup. Seeing Li Xiangqian standing by the shed, he frowned and said, "Xiangqian, why are you standing here in a daze? Come over and have a bowl of soup to warm yourself up."

Li Xiangqian came back to his senses, forced a smile, and took the bowl of soup. He took a sip and felt the warmth of the soup dispel some of the chill in his heart, but the uneasiness still lingered in his heart.

"Huai Ru, do you think our shed... can really withstand the coming heavy rain?" Li Xiangqian finally expressed his doubts, with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in his voice.

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Li Xiangqian to say that. She looked at the sky, then at the vegetable shed in front of her, and replied in a relaxed tone: "Xiangqian, don't be too nervous. Everyone has spent a lot of time and effort to build this shed. I think there should be no problem. Besides, even if there is a problem, we can improve it. There is no need to be so anxious. But she didn't get much comfort in her heart. Qin Huairu was right. It can indeed be improved. If there is a problem with this shed, what will be lost is not only the fruits of their labor, but also everyone's trust in him. The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the wind is starting to get stronger. Li Xiangqian frowned, and the sense of uneasiness in his heart became stronger. He put the soup bowl aside, looking at the vegetable shed with a firm gaze, and secretly made up his mind: no matter what, he must see for himself whether this shed can withstand the test, and he can't wait until the problem really arises to regret it.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger. Li Xiangqian stood by the shed, staring at every connection point. His heartbeat gradually accelerated with the sound of the wind, as if he was waiting for some kind of change to happen at any time. Sure enough, as a stronger wind passed by, a sharp tearing sound suddenly came from a corner of the shed.

Li Xiangqian's heart sank suddenly. He walked over quickly and saw that a corner of the plastic sheet was blown high up by the wind and the bamboo pole began to shake. It was obviously not as solid as he had imagined.

"It really doesn't work!" Li Xiangqian's heart tightened, and he almost subconsciously reached out to grab the plastic sheet, trying to press it back into place. But he knew that this was only a temporary solution, and the real problem was the overall structure of the shed. Wang Erleng and Uncle Li also rushed over, obviously hearing the wind and the movement. "Xiangqian, what's going on?" Wang Erleng asked loudly, obviously a little panicked.

"There's a problem with the support of the shed. The wind is too strong and the plastic sheet can't hold up anymore!" Li Xiangqian responded hastily. He already understood in his mind that there was a fatal flaw in the design of the shed, especially in windy and rainy conditions.

"What should we do? Should we tear it down now?" Uncle Li asked anxiously, his face full of worry.

Li Xiangqian thought of various possible solutions, but each one seemed hasty and unrealistic. He calmed down and said decisively, "Don't worry, we need to stabilize these bamboo poles first, and then tie the loose plastic sheet tightly again, and then think of a solution when the wind is a little weaker."

Everyone immediately took action after hearing Li Xiangqian's words. Li Xiangqian picked up a hammer and a rope, and while braving the wind, he tried to fix the shaking bamboo poles. His heart was beating fast, but his hands were very steady, because he knew that any mistake at this time could lead to the collapse of the entire shed.

The wind continued to howl, the thunder in the sky was getting closer and closer, and the dark clouds were so heavy that it was hard to breathe. As Li Xiangqian tied the ropes tightly, he felt the cold sweat on his back. He had only one thought in his mind: no matter what, he couldn't let the shed collapse today.

Finally, the wind weakened a little, and the shed was temporarily stabilized with everyone's joint efforts. Li Xiangqian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in his heart did not completely dissipate. He knew that this was only temporary, and the structural problems of the shed had not been completely solved. If he did not find a way to improve it, the consequences might be more serious the next time he encountered stronger winds and rains.

When the storm really came, Li Xiangqian led everyone to continue to guard around the shed, closely observing every detail. Although the shed did not collapse completely in the end, several obvious hidden dangers made Li Xiangqian more determined: the design of this vegetable shed was not feasible and had to be replanned.

After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, Li Xiangqian called the people in the yard together for another short meeting. This time, his expression was more serious and more determined.

"Everyone, although the shed has held up temporarily, the problems are obvious when the wind and rain come. I think we can't go on like this. The design itself is flawed, and forcibly repairing it will only waste more time and energy."

Qin Huairu asked in surprise: "Xiang Qian, what are you going to do? We have already spent so much time and energy, wouldn't it be too much trouble to do it all over again?"

Li Xiangqian looked at everyone, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Huai Ru, I know this is troublesome, but if we continue to use this unstable shed, we may not be so lucky when the next storm comes. I plan to redesign a more solid structure and use stronger materials to ensure that this shed can truly withstand the test."
