If his wife doesn't let him sit at the table, he won't sit at the table!
So many people in the Northwest who couldn't afford food were waiting for him, but he couldn't eat.
Thinking this, Gu Guanhai immediately said to everyone, "Well, you guys eat first, I have something to do and need to go back to Beijing first."
With that, he walked outside.
Yu Mingxiang was not surprised to see this.
But.
Grandma Gu exploded.
"Going to Beijing? You just got home, haven't even had a proper meal, and you're already going out again?"
The old woman glared at her son's retreating figure and shouted, "What's the rush? Even the emperor doesn't starve his soldiers! How can you not even let people have a bite to eat?"
Gu Guanhai: "..."
Some things can't be explained to his mother.
The key issue is that if you explain this, you'll have to explain that, and he doesn't have the time for that.
so.
Gu Guanbai ran away as soon as he saw the height.
Grandma Gu: "!!!"
He hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the fire poker and gave chase.
Seeing the mother and son chase after her out of the yard, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
She blinked and said to Gu Yunlan and Mei Fang, "It's okay, Mom will be back soon. Let's eat first!"
Upon seeing this, Lao Yuan, Mei Fang, and the others were speechless.
They looked at each other, neither of them picking up their chopsticks.
Something that could make Gu Guanhai rush home without even eating a bite of food must be no small matter.
Gu Yunlan was alright; she was just a housewife who didn't know much except for worrying about her older brother's safety.
However, Lao Yuan and Mei Fang immediately thought of many important national and family matters, and both of them looked worried.
Upon seeing this, Yu Mingxiang was speechless.
After a moment's thought, he said, "There's going to be a food shortage in the Northwest, and many people may starve to death."
These words were spoken.
Not to mention Lao Yuan and Mei Fang, even Gu Yunlan's expression changed drastically.
She might not understand other things.
However, her husband was the director of the grain depot, and she herself had experienced famine years, so...
Gu Yunlan couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Then what should we do? A food shortage is terrible. If that happens, people will eat everything on the mountain, leaving not even tree bark..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang said: ...
He lowered his eyes and remained silent.
That's because Hedao Village is located next to the mountains.
There are mountains to eat.
The Northwest is different.
The Northwest has no green mountains and clear waters, only boundless deserts.
With a poor harvest, all that awaited them was despair and death amidst the vast yellow sands!
Old Yuan: "!!!"
He glanced at Yu Mingxiang with a deep look in his eyes, then stood up and said, "This matter is of great importance, and I also need to return to the capital."
As he spoke, smoke rose from his feet and he ran off.
Yu Mingxiang: "??"
He raised an eyebrow as he watched Lao Yuan's hurried departure.
Seeing this, Mei Fang pursed her lips and said, "Ignore him."
"It's part of his job to predict natural disasters and man-made calamities. If a famine really occurs in the Northwest, he will also be held responsible. He's going back to clean up the mess!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang and Gu Yunlan: ...
He had a look of sudden realization on his face.
I understand.
Not long after Old Yuan left, Old Lady Gu returned looking furious.
The old woman plopped down on a bench, angrily exclaiming, "That brat! There was even a car waiting for him at the village entrance!"
