Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1401 Famine and Natural Disaster 559
"Master, why are you sighing?" Chunmei followed her gaze and asked with some guesses, "Master, are you sighing for them?"

"Yes and no."

Wherever you look, you see not only these people, but also all living beings in the Northwest and the world.

She and Zhou Ting shoulder the weight of the world.

Chunmei couldn't understand her ambiguous answer, and with a puzzled look on her face, she followed her to watch the people working; no matter how she looked, she saw that they were very diligent and not lazy at all.

Could it be that the master felt pity for them and had kindness in his heart?

Because you are kind, you cannot bear to see suffering?

Chunmei couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it; as a servant, she couldn't always guess her master's thoughts; instead of wasting time, she swept her eyes over the surrounding grass, trees, sand and stones, and her eyes lit up.

"Master, there is a big rock next to the campfire. Would you like to sit down and rest for a while?"

After hearing this, Mingyi retracted his gaze and looked in the direction Chunmei pointed; the big stone next to the campfire had been specially polished and was quite smooth.

She turned around and said to Guard Yu and the others, "Brother Yu, let's go over there and rest for a while until the Ning family comes back."

"Okay, Miss Cheng."

Guard Yu responded and followed him to the campfire; this was where they had set up camp, the campfire had long been extinguished, and there was no warmth at all when they walked in.

Chunmei took out a thick quilt and spread it on the stone, "Master, please sit down."

"Thank you Chunmei. You should sit down too. Don't sit on the ground. It's very cold and it's easy to get cold and damp when you sit on the ground." She sat in one corner and left another corner for Chunmei.

"Thank you, Master."

Chunmei sat in a corner with a smile on her face, so as not to appear too offensive nor too cold.

It would be cold even if you sat on a big rock, let alone sitting directly on the wet and cold ground.

Yu Shiwei and others didn't care. They were wearing thick guard uniforms and they were men with strong blood, so they didn't care about so many things.

An hour later, Ning Ru came back with Old Man Ning and Ning Qing, and Ming Yi stood up to greet them.

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Ning, you are finally here. Did you have a smooth journey? Are you cold?"

The concerned greeting comforted Mr. Ning, and he no longer felt cold no matter how cold it was. "I'm wearing thick clothes, so I'm not that cold. Miss Cheng, my second son has already told me that you want the workers to go back earlier, right?"

"Yes! Let them go back and reunite with their families. It will be the end of the year soon, and they can take their wages and go back to have a good New Year. After the spring thaw comes, they can come back to work." Instead of letting them fight head-on against the frozen ground, it is better to start work after the spring when the ground becomes soft.

In this way, wages can be saved a little and workers will not suffer from the severe cold.

Old Mr. Ning looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile, and sighed again, "She is kind-hearted."

"What Miss Cheng said makes sense. The northwest will freeze over in a few days. It is really not appropriate to start work. It would be better for them to go down the mountain early, reunite with their families and have a good New Year, so that they can work hard next year."

The boss is kind-hearted, so naturally he is too.

Ning Qing and Ning Ru had no objections, so the matter was settled. Ning Ru and Ning Yi gathered the people from Huoshui River to join the workers in the mountains, and explained that it was Miss Cheng who was kind-hearted and asked them to go down the mountain early to reunite with their families. The government would organize people to continue repairing the river next year, which won the gratitude of thousands of workers.

The goal was achieved, Mingyi led his men down the mountain, and the rest was left to the Ning family and the responsible soldiers in the army to arrange.

Two days later, Mr. Ning brought the Ning family to the mansion to make a report.

"Miss Cheng, all the workers have left, and the wages have been settled. Here are the accounts, please take a look." Old Master Ning gave a look, and Ning Ru handed over the account book.

Chunmei stepped forward to take it, handed it to Mingyi, and then stepped aside.

Mingyi flipped through the account book on the spot and read through it quickly. The numbers were clearly recorded and there was no possibility of falsification in the expenditure accounts. She put down the account book, her eyes full of kindness, and spoke slowly.

"The accounts are all correct, thank you and the two gentlemen, as well as Young Master Ning. Did the workers go back on their own, or were they sent back by someone?" When they came back, they encountered a group of refugees who took a shortcut. These refugees had lived in the Central Plains for five years, and the sins on their bodies were simply unbearable to look at.

They were so hungry and so cold that they were capable of anything.

Fortunately, Mr. Ning's reply put her mind at ease.

"Don't worry, Miss Cheng. The army has dispatched people to deliver the goods. Considering the current situation, for safety reasons, we have arranged soldiers into teams of 20. The workers will go in groups from one county to another. One team will be sent to each county to deliver them."

"That's great." With a satisfied smile, she glanced at Ning Yi and asked, "Mr. Ning, you and Mr. Ning Da and Mr. Ning Er are working in Pingyang Pass. Do you need help with Young Master Ning Yi's studies?"

The Ning family is hardworking and responsible, so she has to show some appreciation.

Ning Yi looked up at her, but felt rash again, so he lowered his eyelids slightly; this Miss Cheng had an extremely beautiful face and a fairy-like temperament, as long as she didn't speak, she would be a little fairy.

Once she opened her mouth, her image of a fairy who was out of touch with the world was somewhat shattered from his preconceived notion.

Old Master Ning turned his head and glanced at his grandson, smiling and saying, "Ms. Cheng is very thoughtful. His father is watching over his studies. He has not fallen behind in his studies despite running back and forth with us these days. When the river is cleared, we will let him go back to school to continue his studies."

It was right to choose to bring the eldest grandson out. With more experience and seeing more, the eldest grandson has changed a lot. With him and the second son watching over him, the eldest grandson has not grown up in a wrong direction. Now he has some tendencies to be able to bend and stretch. If he continues to train him well, the pillar of the next generation of the Ning family will be born.

"Mr. Ning is so dedicated to the training of the next generation. I have always known that Young Master Ning is working with you, and I am worried that he will delay his future. After hearing your words, I feel relieved."

"Ms. Cheng is kind and compassionate, and is a blessing to Ning Yi."

The conversation ended there. Mr. Ning mentioned returning home. Mingyi nodded happily, "The war in Pingyang Pass has started again, and it is getting colder. You can go home if you want. Rest for a day, and I will arrange a carriage to take you home tomorrow."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Cheng."

Normally, after the workers left, Mr. Ning and the other supervisors could not leave; at least one person should be left behind to guard Pingyang Pass. However, Mingyi thought it would be better to send them home.

One is to show favor, and the other is that the war has started. She doesn’t know whether she can have a good New Year this year. In the days to come, she will not be able to take care of the Ning family.

It would be better if they left, because the war deployment at Pingyang Pass would not be known to outsiders.

After finishing their business, the Ning family members said goodbye and left. Mingyi stood up to see them out, then turned around and told Chunmei, "Didn't you send some yam the day before yesterday? Make some yam meat cakes and pickled vegetable cakes for the Ning family to eat on the road."

"Here."
