It's really hard to just farm peacefully.
Chapter 17: Flood (2)
Wang Juhua's ability to predict the weather accurately is due not only to her natural talent but also to her more than sixty years of experience.
However, due to objective conditions, Wang Juhua had never left Rongcheng County, nor did she have a large number of meteorological books to study and refer to like the Imperial Observatory.
Therefore, even though she inferred from the weather that it would rain heavily in the next few days, she only thought about the impact on the wheat harvest in Rongcheng County, and did not extend it to other secondary disasters.
When the work was over that day, Jiang Wang brought Jiang Yan and Jiang Nian to her home and asked anxiously, "Is it possible that the rain was too heavy and a flood in the mountains washed away Dongshan Village?" Wang Juhua subconsciously denied it.
"How is that possible! Although our county is poor, the terrain is good and we have never heard of a flood."
"Hasn't this happened before?" Jiang Nian was curious.
"No. Counting from my grandparents' generation, there has been no news of any flooding in Rongcheng County due to heavy rain for more than 130 years." Wang Juhua was very sure.
She has always had a good memory and can still clearly remember the things that happened and the words she heard when she was a child.
"But how did you think there would be a flood?" Wang Juhua looked at Jiang Yan and Jiang Nian.
Why not ask Jiang Wang? Wang Juhua had been dealing with village elders like Jiang Wang for nearly fifty years, so she knew their temperaments.
At first, I doubted her ability to predict the weather, but after decades of experience, I've become convinced. Even people from the neighboring villages come to her for advice when they're unsure.
Whenever she said anything about the weather, they believed it, never asking why or giving it much thought.
Now he suddenly asks what to do if it rains more. It’s obvious that Jiang Wang is not the one who can come up with the answer.
"Grandma, didn't you say it was going to rain heavily? I was thinking..." Jiang Yan had never systematically studied scientific theories related to weather, but he knew some basic principles.
Some of the professional terms were difficult to explain, so she simply explained to Wang Juhua in plain language the logic behind her ideas.
Finally, he concluded by playing the emotional card, "In the past two years, our village has finally harvested more food, and life has gradually improved.
If we are not prepared, a flood will wash away all our people and food. How heartbreaking it would be!
Wang Juhua was told by Jiang Yan that "the hot steam in the pot hits the cold pot lid, and the pot lid will drip water".
Thinking of "Qinshan is high and cold, if the clouds in the sky hit it, it will definitely rain more",
Then I was indoctrinated with the fresh argument that "Dongshan Village is at the foot of the mountain and there is a stream, so if the rain water in the mountain rushes out, it will definitely be more violent", and I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Thinking back carefully to the rainy conditions over the years... whenever it rained more, the two streams beside the village would indeed rise higher and the water would become muddier. On several occasions, the fields nearby were partially flooded...
Except that there was no flood that inundated or washed away the house, most of the things were true.
Wang Juhua thought about the rain again and was certain it would rain more and longer than in previous years...
For the first time, she felt a little unsure. What if she was really unlucky and there was a flood?
Jiang Wang was also listening attentively. Wang Juhua couldn't understand her way of reading the weather, and he couldn't learn it either, but he did understand Jiang Yan's words about pots and lids.
Looking at Wang Juhua's expression, which seemed to be about to agree but was still hesitant, Jiang Wang suddenly felt that something was not right with him.
His eyebrows and eyes drooped uncontrollably, and he asked with a bit of frustration but still trying to struggle:
"Is it really possible that there will be a flood?"
"Yes, there is a high possibility of flooding." Wang Juhua's answer was still affirmative after she had hesitated.
