Chapter 928: Chapter 928: The Name of the Ancestral Hall

In the rundown Huanglan Village, the poverty alleviation work was nearly concluded.

Lin Fan strolled down the street and walked into the ancestral hall at the village entrance.

Although the houses in this quadrant were somewhat dilapidated, the ancestral hall was quite impressive. At the very least, it was constructed with concrete and the courtyard was paved with tiles, very smooth. Walking forward, the central area housed the ancestral tablets, while the sides held the spiritual tablets of deceased villagers.

"It’s rare to see ancestral halls like this in the north."

With his hands behind his back, Lin Fan curiously surveyed everything around him. Due to historical reasons, ancestral halls in the north had been destroyed long ago, so this was quite novel to him.

"This was funded by County Magistrate Zhao, to commemorate the thirty-seven people who died in the mining accident!"

The village chief stood by, roughly explaining the situation.

Despite this quadrant not being the largest village now, right after the liberation period, this was actually the true Huanglan Village. The village was established midway up the hill to repel bandits at the time, thus the many dilapidated houses were over a hundred years old, with the terrain being easy to defend and hard to attack.

After a century of development, most of the village was comprised of Huang family members. After generations of reproduction and dwelling, the village became a large family. Even the village chief was actually a branch of the Huang clan. The mining accident years ago claimed thirty-seven lives from this quadrant alone, so County Magistrate Zhao not only provided compensation but also specifically renovated the ancestral hall to honor these victims.
