Chapter 1142 - 965, One Hundred Thousand Whys
Li Xingnian brought some sweet potatoes, of which Daohua took half to the manor for breeding, while the other half was planted in the space, preparing to start cultivation next year.
"Why is it so hot this year?"
After mid-June, the temperature in Liangdu rose higher each day, the ground was scorching hot, and water sprinkled on the soil evaporated in moments. Everyone felt listless in the heat and didn’t want to move.
Daohua worried about her son getting heatstroke and forcibly kept him indoors, preventing him from going outside. Fortunately, the toy room was filled with toys, and although the little guy fussed at first, he eventually calmed down.
It wasn’t until mid-August that the temperature began to drop.
However, the temperature drop was quite drastic. The autumn, which should be cool and pleasant, brought a chill instead.
Some experienced elders showed their concern: "The weather this year is a bit abnormal; we better hurry up and harvest the crops from the fields."
The scholar Mr. Wang shared this concern and immediately reported it to Xiao Yeyang.
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang consulted with some experienced farmers and got the same conclusion, so he ordered all the military outposts to harvest the crops in advance.
Indeed, by September, several outposts in Xiliang experienced frost, and many crops that had not been harvested in time were severely frost-damaged.
"This winter might be very cold; we need to prepare more supplies for it."
