Chapter 883: Karma (2/2)
"This courtyard is really big, did the Yang family have so many people before?" Uncle Er Niu asked with a smile.
"You kid is really uneducated, under the landlord's family, who hasn't called a few girls, alas, speaking of which, the people in our village were all hired farmers by their family before liberation!"
Although the land of Moon Lake is fertile, there are thousands of acres of fertile land, but these good fields and good land are all landlords' families, and each household has a maximum of two or three acres of sloping land, which is very barren, and in order to survive, everyone has become a hired farmer of the landlord's family.
"Second uncle, I heard that you also let go of cattle for the Yang family when you were a child, right?" Uncle Er Niu asked curiously,
Hearing this question, the juniors in the village all stretched their necks, ready to listen to what the second master had to say.
"Hehe, who said that? It's not me who herds cattle for the landlord's family, it's the grandfather of Ahong's house, he is ten years older than me, since he was five years old, he began to herd cattle for the landlord's family, at that time there was no salary, two meals of bud rice a day, it is said that sometimes it is not enough to eat!"
"It's so terrifying???The landlord's family is too lacking in morality, isn't it?" everyone was filled with righteous indignation after hearing this.
Working for the landlord's family, not only has no wages, but even can't eat enough, if this is today, it will definitely be sprayed to death by people, but in those days, this was the usual operation, and there were too few landlords with a conscience.
"Lack of morality? This is good, the long-term workers of that era only added a miserable, they were simply slaves of the landlord's family, not only could not eat enough and not warm clothes, but also often were beaten all over the body by the landlord's family!"
"Alas......" After everyone heard it, they couldn't help but sigh, it was really not easy to survive in that era.
"Do you see that little dirt bag over there?"
Looking along the fingers of the second uncle, I saw a small grave on the wasteland not far away, and everyone's hearts suddenly burst out, and there were some bad guesses.
"That is the grave of a long worker of the landlord's family, I had a cow here when I was a child, and your grandfather knew about it, so he no longer let me come here to herd cattle, and finally I couldn't ask continuously, and your grandfather told me that this was the grave of the landlord's long-term worker, and the long-term worker died very miserably......
It is said that one day, the Yang family worker was really hungry and couldn't stand it, so he secretly dug up the sweet potatoes of the master's house, but unfortunately he was unlucky, and met the young master who came back from hunting in the mountains, so he was arrested, hung on a tree is a whipping, it is said that he was beaten for three hours, his whole body was scarred, bloodstained, and he died that day, and finally the villagers felt pitiful, so they collected his body and buried it in that wasteland. Speaking of this, the second master couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone was surprisingly silent after listening to this story, although the second uncle didn't say anything else, but everyone knew that their ancestors must have been bullied by the Yang family, so everyone was concerned after listening to this story.
"Then what happened to the Yang family in the end?" Uncle Er Niu clenched his fists and asked the second uncle.
"What else can I do, as soon as the exercise comes, the family will be ruined!" The second uncle shook his head and smiled, his smile full of complicated emotions.
Speaking of the ending of the Yang family, it is also karma,
Like the big families of that era, a number of people fled before liberation, and the rest of the fate was very miserable, and the life of the peasants who were turned over was worse than death.
The room that stayed behind and stuck to the house has long been gone, and the whole family, young and old, was shot dead by a third when they were just liberated, and almost all of the rest died in the criticism, leaving three or two children who don't know where they went.
However, it is said that in the early nineties of the last century, a group of people once came here to ask their ancestors, and it is said that it seems to be the Yang family who fled to the bend, but since then, the Yang family has never returned to the village.
"Uncle Dashan, how many guest rooms are there in this courtyard?" Looking at the upstairs and downstairs, one by one, Zhang Feng asked Uncle Dashan curiously.
"Hehe, no more, no less, just sixty-six rooms!" Uncle Dashan said with a slight smile.
"Why are there so many?" Zhang Feng remembers that when he first designed, there didn't seem to be so many?
"Isn't there still funds left?" So Professor Wang revised the design drawings and asked you to go to a meeting at that time, you kid forgot about it!" Uncle Dashan looked at Zhang Feng and asked.
Zhang Feng smiled embarrassedly, he really forgot, because this project was watched by the village chief and Uncle Dashan, and he didn't have to worry about it at all, so he had already forgotten about it.
"Let's go, let's go into the room and have a look!" said Uncle Dashan and led everyone up to the second floor, checking one room at a time.
The furnishings in the room are simple and simple, with a strong Republic of China style, it seems that Professor Wang has really put a lot of effort into almost restoring the previous design of the Yang family compound.
A large carved wooden dress, a dark desk, a stained glass window, and a small potted plant on the windowsill.
There are still various calligraphy, paintings and handicrafts hanging on the walls of the room, and when you enter the room, you really feel like you have traveled back in time and space, as if you have returned to a hundred years ago.
When everyone came to the hall, the uncle glanced at Zhang Feng with a smile.
"Xiaofeng, there is still a picture of a tiger descending the mountain in this lobby, so I need your help!"
"That's no problem, I still have a few paintings there, just go over and get what you need, uncle!" Zhang Feng said briskly.
"Hehe, you kid is really, I'm talking about the picture of the tiger descending the mountain, according to the Yang family's furnishings back then, it's hanging here!"
"That's it, no problem, I'll draw it for you tomorrow, and I'll give it to you when it's framed!" Zhang Feng smiled, just a picture of a tiger descending the mountain.
"Hehe, I don't ask for two masters for that matter, there were originally two porcelain panel paintings on the walls on both sides, but now I can't find such things, so why don't you make up for two more paintings!"
Zhang Feng nodded, there are indeed two more paintings on the walls on both sides, and there are a few lotus pictures there, as well as some rural landscape pictures, I believe it is more than enough to hang here.
"Let's go back, it's not too early!"
"Ah, I didn't expect it to take more than an hour to turn around, this landlord's compound is big!"
"Of course, if you travel to the palace, you won't be able to finish shopping for three days and three nights!"
Everyone looked at the time, and in a blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock in the evening, and they didn't expect the time to pass so quickly.
So everyone talked and laughed and went home, and it seemed that the project here would be completely finished in a few days, and the rest was just the finishing work within the cleaning.
The B&B hotel in the village is about to be completed, and the uncle is busy again, starting to form the management of the hotel, and the trained staff is about to take up their posts to welcome the opening of the hotel.
