Local Chronicle(三)

Abiao after the door is genuine. His grandfather was a reputed one between the ancient city of Qing Dynasty generals, the emperor canonized as Takenori general. Legend he was riding a tall horse, hoofs stepped on the stone street, even the crying of the children have heard this only tears. Mighty despot did not have to say, gold and silver in the high court wide homes, three six concubine wife enjoy the splendor of the cornelian cherry. However, the pages of history turned out to be a few years, to Tang Shu become the masters of the house when the family financial situation is already ruined, penniless, and only a dilapidated house empty, the yard, accompanied General personally species Takenori a vine. Decadent sad, is part of the ancient city of poor people. Abiao is the youngest son of Tang Shu, Tang Shu in agriculture saw all the widening works for his school, Abiao short time in the classroom to go to school, skip school a long time outside. Not in the thorn forest of bamboo root wall caught Thunder Horse field is to the partridge catching crickets, always when the repeater. Not completed primary school, thanks to a master blacksmith blacksmith school play hammer, did not do long after the Cultural Revolution, just Reclamation to call people, he not only honored as an educated youth, and families fill in the form of a suit of imported workers is a Guo Zihao . If this is also called status, it should be said for Abiao climb up the. Now, he abandoned those who left the farm, but despite the meager monthly salary accounted home, do not know what means the lake imports to support their families?
Busy like me, full of crazy things in mind who is very easy to forget someone. Abiao no exception.
Fast forward to the late eighties a twenty-twelfth lunar month lunar calendar, ten days from New Year's Eve. In a rare taste of the warm sun in the winter in the filled-smelling off. At noon time, after a long a the Abiao sudden came to my clinic. He one person alone, do not have anything, he was wearing a suit narrow inappropriate, a pair of shiny black shoes is just Ma Guo Yi-fold oil. Normal but could not conceal a smile under the haggard and tired. I gave him a cup of hot water delivery to, is to ask his words. He was the first to say that he has something to Changjiang five days, but do not live in my house, the Government hospitality stay in the guesthouse. I wonder, Abiao although some stupid silly but do not tell lies. He added that the county government office director with the car over to him, and just your meal. Said backing and upgrades, and I looked confused look on his face. He went on to say, he is to assemble the dragon, the Chinese New Year Lantern Festival this year, Changjiang County, with his custom of the two dragons, a dragon a dragon, on behalf of favorable weather and abundant harvests Dragon, Golden Dragon on behalf of the harmonious prosperity, Changjiang people generous, than the previous high of each dragon to sell more than temporary where hundreds of dollars. After hearing Abiao, I was amazed after the first surprise after another is amazing, almost not wait any longer to dance the. This is really an unprecedented thing. I was moved to force the shoulder patting Abiao said, yes, well, you have to work hard, you amount to anything, you as your dad, you bring honor to the home! I can not help but cry for Abiao almost like praise, not implicit in addition to Abiao Zhalong This folk he has solved life's necessary skills, the more is that the Cultural Revolution or in Zhalong sometimes be dismissed as superstition and sectarian fights root causes of things, to be reborn, and vent out of the house of my delight.
