Chapter 698 - 697: Steadfast Confidence
"Good girl! An Ping and I were discussing this matter last night and thought that maybe we should get rid of half of our land. Just keeping half would be enough," An Shuchao said.
"That would greatly reduce our income," An Hao said.
"Yes. That’s for certain. Although our income would be much less, at the very least, we wouldn’t have to worry about severe drought. If a bad drought really hit us for a year, just like Qin Jian said, we would lose everything."
"No! Don’t get rid of half our land," An Hao said emphatically, "There will not be any severe droughts in the future."
"How can you be so sure?" An Ping asked.
An Hao had considered this when she had the family start growing greenhouse vegetables. In this region, apart from the occasional mild drought every few years, for the most part, the climate had been favorable.
So, growing vegetables here was still very suitable.
If rainfall weren’t abundant in this place, An Hao would have definitely not considered growing vegetables.
"Geography, climate! Didn’t you study geography?" In fact, An Hao wasn’t particularly good at geography. Besides, geography generalizes the climate of a region. Who could accurately predict the weather in a small area?
But could she really say to An Ping, "Just listen to me, I’ve lived a whole life longer than you, I’ve seen with my own eyes that this is a place with plentiful rainfall"?
"Is geography really that reliable?" Having only learned to read and without much education, An Shuchao doubted his daughter’s words as well.
