………………I am a dividing line………………

The snow has finally stopped.

Qu He went to a meeting at the Weichang County government.

The Forestry Bureau of Weichang County is an important department of the county government.

Given the severe snow disaster that Weichang County suffered, Qu He, as the bureau chief, was obligated to attend the meeting.

They also assisted the county government in disaster relief efforts.

Bashang.

As summer finally saw the sky clear up, her worries did not disappear.

Instead, it became even more somber.

After the heavy snow comes a severe drought.

He had a vague premonition that after this snowfall...

There will be no snow this year, or even next year.

Furthermore, his knowledge of meteorology also corroborates his viewpoint.

However, Xia Tian was powerless to do so.

His tiny butterfly wings can't create much of a storm.

A week has passed since the snow stopped.

Throughout the week, the sun made full use of its power.

Melted snow drips from the eaves every day.

If it weren't for the fact that there was still some snow that hadn't completely melted, Summer would have already started to wonder if winter was really coming.

"Xiao Gao, pack your things, we'll go down to the dam in a bit."

Xia Tian shouted something to Xiao Gao and found Feng Cheng, who was cooking.

"Xiao Feng, I'll take Xiao Gao down to the dam in a bit!"

"You will stay on the dam."

Xia Tian then gave Feng Cheng a few more instructions.

After lunch, Xia Tian and Xiao Gao set off for the Forestry Bureau.

The snow on the road had almost completely melted away due to the strong winds and sun on the dam.

We didn't encounter any danger along the way.

Three hours later.

Summer arrived at the Forestry Bureau with Xiao Gao.

……

"Bang bang bang!"

Summer knocked on Qu He's office door.

"Come in!"

Qu He's voice came from inside.

"Uncle Qu, are you busy?"

Summer pushed open the door and entered, seeing Qu He sitting at his desk writing materials.

Xia, what brings you here?

Qu He looked up when he heard the familiar voice.

"I'm not here to take Xiao Gao down to the dam, but I also have something I'd like to talk to you about."

As Xia Tian spoke, she casually picked up the thermos from Qu He's office.

I poured myself a large mug of hot water first.

He then refilled Qu He's teacup with hot water.

"What happened?"

Qu He watched Xia Tian's movements while capping the fountain pen in his hand.

Xia Tian pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Qu He.

"Uncle Qu, I've come here because of this snow disaster!"

Summer doesn't drag on; it gets straight to the point.

"Snow disaster? What happened with the snow disaster?"

Qu He didn't understand what Xia Tian meant.

"That's right, Uncle Qu."

"Uncle Qu, have you noticed that the weather has been a bit unusual these past two days?"

"The weather is indeed a bit unusual."

Qu He thought for a moment and nodded.

The weather these past two days has been excessively hot compared to previous years.

But he still didn't understand the connection between the abnormal weather and the snow disaster.

"That's the problem!"

Summer's expression turned very somber.

"I've been observing the situation in Bashang these past two days and I've found that it's unlikely to snow for the next five months."

"Five months is exactly the coldest time of winter."

"Not only will it not snow, but the weather will likely remain as hot as it has been these past two days."

Qu He's expression turned serious after hearing Xia Tian's words.

If it doesn't snow for the next five months...

He was already hesitant to think any further.

Xia, is what you're saying true?

Qu He looked into Xia Tian's eyes with a serious expression.

At this moment, Qu He desperately hoped to receive a negative answer from Xia Tian.

"There's an 80% chance I'm telling the truth!"

Summer understood Qu He's meaning, but based on his observations...

And memories of her past life—Xia Tian is 99% certain.

It may not snow for the next five months.

Qu He listened to Xia Tian's words and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Uncle Qu, it hasn't snowed for the past five months."

"Not only can this year's seeds not be stored, but we may also not be able to plant trees next year!"

"And, more importantly, next year's grain production may be reduced."

"And there is a possibility of a major drought!"

Summer continued speaking.

"drought?!"

Qu He was startled as he listened to Xia Tian's analysis.

What Xia Tian didn't tell Qu He was that next year's drought wouldn't be regional.

It is a nationwide drought that will last for five years.

From 1958 to 1962.

And it wasn't just a natural disaster, but also a man-made one.

Due to the "leftist" line of the Great Leap Forward and the "People's Commune Movement".

This will only exacerbate the natural disasters of the past five years.

Unfortunately, people are blinded by their own limited perspective and cannot see the bigger picture.

They were completely unaware of their mistake and continued down the wrong path.

How bold people are and how productive they are.

Previously, it might have just been a casual remark in a book.

But now, I'm truly experiencing and participating in the summer.

"Uncle Qu, what I mean is, we should report this!"

"We hope this will attract the attention of those above."

"After all, this drought is no joke."

Xia Tian said to Qu He with a serious expression.

He wanted to see just how much of a storm his butterfly wings could stir up.

"Xia, how confident are you about what you said?"

Qu He looked at Xia Tian and asked a question.

"Eighty percent!"

Hearing Xia Tian's answer, Qu He gritted his teeth.

"Done!"

When a person dies, the bird flies to the sky; if they don't die, they live for ten thousand years!

Qu He picked up his pen and began writing the report.

Qu He's report was quickly sent to the Forestry Bureau of Chengde.

Yu Zhenglai looked at Qu He's report, his brows furrowed.

He knew that Qu Hehe and Xia Tian wouldn't make baseless accusations.

It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't.

Yu Zhenglai delivered the report to Director Li of the Forestry Department of Rehe Province.

Director Li initially paid no attention to the report that Yu Zhenglai had brought over.

That afternoon, Director Li sat in his office. On a whim, he picked up the report that Yu Zheng had brought him.

It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't looked, but once I did, combined with the recent unusual weather, I realized...

Despite the hot weather, Director Li broke out in a cold sweat.

Early the next morning.

Director Li then boarded the train to Beiping.

Ministry of Forestry.

Qin Qiufeng, who is currently the First Vice Minister of Forestry, received that report.

Qin Qiufeng frowned deeply as he looked at the report.

Sitting there, nobody knew what was going on in their minds.
