My father-in-law died in Dalian on the fifth day of the first lunar month in 2019 at the age of 87.
Father-in-law had a rough life, experienced glory and frustration, he was kind-hearted, knowledgeable, learned calligraphy and painting since childhood, the works were thick, many works spread to Japan, South Korea, his works were collected in many national calligraphy and painting works, and his hair body won the competition prize.
Father-in-law was a graduate of the teacher's college at that time, and then taught in the local school for many years, teaching first-class, some students are older than him, because the principal is jealous of Xianxian, often for no reason, the father-in-law is young, can't bear the anger and chose to resign, and has since rewritten the fate of his life.
My mother-in-law and father-in-law are the same age, more than ten kilometers apart in the local village, the mother-in-law was very good-looking when she was young, they had nine children, four men and five women, my wife was the seventh oldest, and there were two younger brothers below.
Father-in-law was the first person in the countryside to take pictures, and took care of making clothes for people, although he was a man, but the clothes he made for customers were special and body, and he was known for dozens of miles.
Because of their good management, their family conditions were very good in the seventies and eighties, so there were many relatives and friends, my wife recalls, her grandmother's birthday, there were sixty or seventy guests present to congratulate, including many teachers and public officials.
The change occurred at the end of the eighties, the father-in-law and Zibo's friends to cooperate in earthworks, because the father-in-law was too kind and did not have a defensive heart, listened to his friends, and invested tens of thousands of yuan in his savings and credit union loans of tens of thousands of yuan into the project.
I married on the tenth day of the first month of the first month of 1992, and my mother-in-law died of illness in September at the age of fifty-nine.
His father-in-law had been in Dalian for many years, and his brother's family worked and lived in Dalian, and then his father-in-law chose to take photos when he returned home because of his children. After the death of his mother-in-law, his father-in-law chose to take his youngest son to Dalian the following year, because he was forced to do so, but also because Dalian had his brothers and sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces who took care of each other.
Later, the wife's four sisters and family, the three brothers and a family have successively gone to Dalian to develop, they are engaged in the antique industry, at the beginning of this century, Dalian's antique shop is aimed at Japanese and Korean customers, so the business is booming, a few years later they bought a house and a car, and took root in Dalian.
Father-in-law has been living with the third son for many years, the third brother was discharged from the army in yunnan scouts, and later worked in Binzhou, met his current wife, got married and went to Dalian, had a son, joined the army during college, and now the North Sea Fleet.
The third brother and his wife are kind and loyal, and have taken good care of their father-in-law for more than twenty years, while the second brother and younger brother in Dalian have a family and a room, and the father-in-law does not live with them, which is very telling.
Father-in-law returns to my hometown once every two or three years on average, the longest time in my house, the other children's family just look at a meal, and then come to my house to live, the old man loves to drink, and it is a high degree of alcohol, we have the same hobbies, so we have a common language.
The old man made a living by writing and painting, taking into account the calligraphy training of his grandson, and when he was 12 years old, his grandson won the first prize in the Dalian Youth Calligraphy Competition, and was sent to Japan by educational institutions to participate in Sino-Japanese youth exchange activities.
In his hometown, the villagers have a large number of his calligraphy and painting works, people have everything they need, and free gifts, so his reputation in the village is very high, after his death to the Qingming Festival, only by the three brothers they drove him to his hometown, into the soil for safety, when I heard that the old man went home, all the villagers at home to the village a few hundred meters away from the road to meet, I personally present to assist in handling, see this scene is very exciting, a lot of officials outside the home, there is no glory, some people work outside, heard that the old man came home, take leave to come.
The old man's works are proud of the local supporters, I remember 11 years I went to the district to frame the calligraphy works of my father-in-law, just happened to have several retired elderly people present, when they saw the father-in-law imitation hair body "Qinyuan Spring. Snow" when the fruit outside the excitement, asked who is the work, I have not heard of this character in my district, the writing is too good, someone on the spot to give me six hundred yuan to buy this work, I said not to sell.
My only regret is that I did not see the last side of the old man, the old man often nagged me, saying that there are two bottles of Moutai wine from the nineties, waiting for me to go to Dalian to taste together, but unfortunately the old man happened suddenly, originally planned to go home for burial immediately, so my wife went, I handled related matters at home.
The old man has been friends and friends all his life, helpful, but unfortunately several twists and turns, changed the fate of his life, fortunately, he later went to Dalian, life is worry-free, accompanied by calligraphy and painting, and did not waste this life.
Use this document to your father-in-law in heaven, may he be with your mother-in-law day and night, and there will be no pain in heaven.
