Chapter 104 Abram, Qi Shengli’s love rival?
Qi Guang and Lu Cheng also responded with polite smiles:
"You play beautifully."
After Qi Guang finished speaking, Abram became even happier. He was like a child who was rewarded with candy by his teacher. He rubbed his face against the Dobro in his arms and was extremely happy.
"Abu, go play inside."
Wang Yuanjun spoke softly to Abram.
Abram nodded, looked back at Qi Guang and Lu Cheng, and then went to another room.
Wang Yuanjun's tea was ready and handed to Qi Guang and Lu Cheng.
"Does Xiaoguang still remember him?"
Qi Guang was stunned by his sudden question, Abram?
Why did Uncle Wang think he should have an impression of Abram?
By the way, he had never seen Wang Yuanjun before, let alone Abram.
"He was your mother's classmate and one of the earliest college students in Har Grassland."
"I heard that after he was admitted to the Forestry University, he specialized in soil and water conservation and desertification control, hoping to return to the grasslands one day and alleviate desertification."
After Wang Yuanjun finished speaking, the dead memories suddenly revived in Qi Guang's mind, followed by a long period of shock!
"Is he... the uncle who did research with my mom?"
Qi Guang remembered a research report on stress-resistant afforestation technology on Su Xingmei's desk. In addition to Su Xingmei, Abram's name seemed to be on the cover.
The reason why he remembered it so clearly was entirely because of a joke made by Su Xingmei:
"Plant stress resistance refers to certain traits that plants possess to resist adverse environments, such as cold resistance, drought resistance, salt resistance, disease and pest resistance, etc..."
After listening to Su Xingmei's popular science, Qi Guang admired from the bottom of his heart:
"Mom, you're amazing! I used to think you only planted trees, but I didn't expect you could study these things?"
Su Xingmei's smile is very beautiful, like the scorching sun in winter, warm but not aggressive.
"I don't think this is a big deal. The hard part is studying my son's resilience."
"There are many ways to express it, such as 'I don't know,' 'I don't have it,' 'I can't,' and 'Leave me alone.' Generally speaking, these few sentences can deal with all situations."
At that time, Qi Shengli was still laughing beside him, and Qi Guang was so angry that he laughed:
"Mom, I praised you, but you insulted me. It's fine if you insult me, but you even joined Lao Qi in insulting me?"
Qi Shengli waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I can't, I don't have it."
Wang Yuanjun's voice brought him back to reality:
"That should be the case. They belong to the same team."
Qi Guang’s head buzzed!
He thought of his first and only meeting with Abram—
The day Su Xingmei died, she was in the hospital.
Abram has the typical high nose bridge and deep eye sockets of the Kazakh people, and has excellent appearance and temperament.
At that time, Qi Guang was only concerned with grief and only had a general impression of Abram.
The point is, he had seen this name in Qi Shengli's diary.
In his diary, he simply wrote the two words "Abu".
For a long time, the subject of Qi Shengli's diary was Su Xingmei.
Abu and Su Xingmei are a pair all day long, doing research together, planting Haloxylon ammodendron trees together, and sometimes even eating together.
At that time, Qi Shengli had already regarded Abram as his open rival in love.
Although the diary records Qi Shengli's brief frustration and dejection, it contains more encouragement to himself.
Encourage yourself to chase the girl you like.
There are many people chasing after Su Xingmei, but not many can make someone as arrogant as Qi Shengli feel a sense of crisis.
"But why did Uncle Abu become like this?"
Wang Yuanjun fell into reminiscence, and his cloudy eyes dimmed even more:
"It was unfortunate, but he and his colleagues discovered a field of wild black wolfberries. As you know, black wolfberries are very useful for preventing wind and sand, so they thought the field was very valuable for research, so they spontaneously patrolled it every day."
"Later, the price of wild black wolfberries in the market became higher and higher, and the number of unscrupulous people who snatched them increased."
"That day, by chance, he was on patrol and encountered a group of people who were picking the fruits."
Hearing this, Qi Guang's heart sank heavily. He guessed the ending of the story.
"Alas, he was beaten to the brain while trying to stop those people, and ended up like this."
Qi Guang thought of many possibilities for being sick, but he never thought that this was the reason.
At this moment, Lu Cheng and Qi Guang looked equally bad.
Coming from a wealthy family, he never worries about money, nor does he let it hold him back.
He couldn't imagine why someone would do so many evil things for money.
This was true for Li Jinyang and Hu Zi, as well as for those who were trying to pick the fruit.
In their eyes, land, home, environment, and ecology seem to be worthless.
"What a shame, it's truly a shame. Abu was one of the first college graduates from the grasslands. His parents were already in poor health, and they couldn't handle this blow... Shengli helped with the funeral."
Qi Guang listened to the unmelodious sound of the dombra and Abram's happy laughter coming from the room.
His heart seemed to be weighed down by a thousand-pound stone, becoming heavier and heavier.
"My life was saved by Shengli. I was cheated and had nowhere else to go. He helped me, so I'm still alive today. So, I'll do what he asks me to do, even if it means I'll be frying in oil!"
When Wang Yuanjun said this, his eyes turned red and his voice was a little choked.
Sometimes people are so strong that it's frightening. When they talk about their darkest moments, their tone is so relaxed as if they were talking about someone else.
On the contrary, when talking about other people's affairs, one cannot help but feel extreme empathy, as if one had actually experienced it oneself.
Qi Shengli naturally asked Wang Yuanjun to take care of Abram.
"Uncle Wang, thank you."
Qi Guang had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. He understood what it took to take care of someone who had no blood relationship with him.
Even if it is a mediocre life, most people would feel that it is not worth spending it on someone who has no relationship with them.
And Wang Yuanjun has been taking care of her for so many years.
"What are you thanking me for, kid? Your dad saved my life!"
"Anyway, my wife remarried with the children, so I'm not a burden to them."
Wang Yuanjun lowered his head as he spoke. He looked at the toes of his shoes that had long been worn out. They were a pair of very old leather shoes.
"My son is so good to me. He comes here to stay for a while every holiday and brings a lot of things with him, just in case I get bored here."
"Don't tell me, his stepfather treats his mother and mother very well. In fact, he even treats them better than I do. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"
Abu suddenly stopped playing and turned on the music on his toy Dotar.
He clapped his hands excitedly and then hummed softly along with the music.
Everyone listened to Abu's seriously off-key humming in silence for a long, long time...
Finally, Wang Yuanjun spoke again:
"Abu is very sensible. Even though he's like this now, he has no problem taking care of himself. Sometimes he even helps me milk the goats."
"I like quietness. He doesn't talk much. Sometimes when I'm annoyed, I can still talk to him. He doesn't understand me anyway. Hahaha, how great is that!"
