Chapter 345 Weather Forecast
Autumn harvest is different from spring plowing, it is really a race against time.
While the weather is good and the sun is strong, we must hurry to collect the ripe rice and dry it in the sun. Otherwise, if it starts to rain, especially for several days in a row, it will be terrible!
Qiao Xuan regretted that her ability to "predict" the weather had not yet developed. She could only predict whether it would rain for about half a day by sensing the plants' keen sense of weather changes and the amount of moisture in the air.
However, even if it can only be predicted for half a day, it is already very useful for the autumn harvest season.
If you can know the future weather conditions half a day in advance, you can perfectly avoid rain showers and ensure that the harvested grain will not be wet by rain.
The family had just harvested all the food when there was a rain shower the next afternoon.
Qiao Xuan hurriedly told her family more than half an hour in advance that it would probably rain soon, and the rice had to be gathered up quickly and covered with something, or moved into the house or under the eaves.
Fang and others were skeptical, but Shao Yunduan said that Qiao Xuan knew something about weather forecasting, and Fang and others were used to trusting Qiao Xuan, so they hurriedly took action.
Qiao Xuan thought that many families in the village were drying rice, so she told Fang about it. Fang then asked Shao Dalang to walk around the village and tell everyone.
The issue of food is a big deal. It would be so heartbreaking if the food got caught in the rain.
Shao Dalang is a loyal and honest person, and I think many people will listen to what he says.
When Shao Dalang said this, the villagers looked up at the sky and the bright sunshine shining on the earth. How could they believe it? They all laughed and joked.
"Yunlian, you are confused, the weather is so nice, how could it rain!"
"That's right, you can't joke about this!"
"What about your family? I guess you guys aren't harvesting rice, are you? Hahaha!"
Shao Dalang also felt that it was a little unreliable. He scratched his head and smiled good-naturedly: "Our family really put it away. The weather is changing so fast that it's hard to say. It's always a good thing to be careful."
After Shao Dalang left, everyone couldn't help but feel confused and hesitant.
“Is this true?”
"I don't think Yun Lian is the kind of person who would joke about something like this."
"Oh, what can he understand? Even if he has good intentions, he may not necessarily do good things!"
"Yeah, can't you just pay attention and look at the sky?"
After a while, the wind started to blow and the brightness of the sunlight seemed to dim.
Some people were startled and decisively started to harvest rice.
"It's always better to be careful in everything."
"Yeah, it seems Yun Lian is right. I also feel like the weather seems to have changed."
"Isn't this a normal change? It doesn't necessarily mean it will rain?"
“.”
Therefore, those who harvested the rice in advance were fine. Not long after they finished harvesting, it started to rain "clattering" like frying beans.
Those who were hesitant before, when they wanted to collect it, it was too late. Some of them were still soaked in the rush.
I can only hope that the rain won't last too long.
After that day, several families who already had good relations with the eldest branch of the Shao family paid special attention to their activities. When they saw them harvesting rice, they asked and hurriedly followed their instructions.
So during this period of time, every household in the village regarded the Shao family's main house as a weather vane.
Qiao Xuan didn't show up. When someone curiously asked how he knew it, he attributed it to Shao Yunduan, saying that he read it in a book and understood a little, but not much.
