The protagonist Alpha chooses the corner bamboo horse

It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Li Yuebo finished his work. At nine o'clock, he urged Ye Yue to go back to sleep, but Ye Yue sat in front of the easel and didn't turn back. He only said, "We want to go back together."

Li Yuebo knew that he couldn't call him tonight.

Ye Yue listened to Li Yuebo most of the time, but Li Yuebo would always compromise on what Ye Yue really decided to do. For 18 years, they have grown side by side like trees, and they always know very tacitly when they should make concessions for each other.

This easel was originally placed in Li Yuebo's office. It has been like this since he was a child, but wherever Li Yuebo would work long hours, there must be Ye Yue's things.

Li Yuebo didn't put Ye Yue's things in the office because Li Yuebo didn't go there often, but after the heavy rain took people there last time, Li Yuebo also put some Ye Yue's things in that office. , but not as much here.

Ye Yue was born fair, and under the warm goose-yellow warm light at home, his whole body is white and glistening, not to mention the bright incandescent light in the office room, the light is strong, and his weak skin even faintly looks a little transparent. Such as the edge of the earlobe, such as the fingertips.

Li Yuebo's loving eyes once again carefully outlined his figure, and then he lowered his head and continued to work.

The office is quiet, only the sound of brushes being brushed and the sound of knocking on the computer can be heard.

Li Yuebo didn't turn off the computer until it was close to twelve o'clock after eleven o'clock.Ye Yue had finished painting a long time ago, and now he was lying on the sofa under a thin blanket, flipping through a book.

Li Yuebo walked over, took out the book in his hand and put it back in place, kissed him, and picked him up again. Ye Yue raised his hand cooperatively and wrapped his legs around it. It was still the same 18-year-old man. The entwining and hugging that I am used to.

Li Yuebo knew why Ye Yue came - he noticed that he had been under a lot of work pressure recently.

Just as he can accurately find out what he likes from Ye Yue's eyes, Ye Yue can always accurately detect when he is not going well at work.

After realizing it, Ye Yue didn't say anything, just stayed beside him quietly, and went home with him when he finished his work.Those Ye Yue's things placed in Li Yuebo's various offices are prepared to give these company time.

The first time Ye Yue worked overtime with Li Yuebo dates back to when they were six years old.

That was the age when Li Yuebo really "worked" for the first time.

When he was a child, Li Yuebo was the child most eager to grow up in the world.

He desperately wanted to grow taller and stronger, so that he could hug his Yueyue earlier. Li Yuebo wanted to hug him more than his back, because he wanted to see his Yueyue's face; He desperately wants to work and earn money, so that he can buy various things for his Yueyue earlier. He yearns for the way adults pay for Yueyue when he is dead.

Of course Li Yuebo has money at a young age, but it was all given by his family. Li Yuebo is eager to use the real money he earns to buy all kinds of good things for his Yueyue.

He couldn't tell the reason for this desire, just like he couldn't tell why he was so attached to Ye Yue, anyway, he was born like this, since Ye Yue was born, he knew that he wanted Ye Yue, he wanted to treat Ye Yue well, very soon good very good.

Because of such an urgent desire, Li Yuebo would only seriously tell his parents that he wanted to work with a serious face at an age when other children were beckoning to their mothers and asking for toys and snacks.

Although adults are indeed stricter with alpha children than with omega children, they are not so strict. Parent Li and mother Li sternly rejected him while gratifying the child for his progress.

Li Yuebo asks every year and is rejected every year, and he is not depressed. He saves money by helping the adults in the town "run errands" and other "part-time jobs", and buys things for his Yueyue at any time. .

Of course, Ye Yue would never take the initiative to ask for anything. It was because Li Yuebo could see his preferences from his beautiful eyes, and after buying it himself, he had to force it to him.

Year after year, at the age of six, Li's father officially gave Li Yuebo a job - to raise twenty ducklings.

A six-year-old child has no other "jobs" besides eating and playing. It's just a plan to deal with children that the scheming adults came up with when they were bothered by their sons.

Zangdong Town is the headquarters of the Dongzang Chamber of Commerce, but the Dongzang Chamber of Commerce itself is not in Zangdong Town. Well, during the holidays, everyone who works in the Chamber of Commerce has to return home, so at that time it can be said that the Dongzang Chamber of Commerce is in Tibet. winter town.

On weekdays, Zangdong Town is no different from other small towns with a large number of migrant workers. There are mostly old people and children in the town. Of course, Zangdong Town is much richer, and the basic living facilities and service industries in the town are very complete.

But the life of people in Zangdong Town on weekdays can be called simple and unpretentious-basically divided into those who farm, those who go to school, those who keep their own shops in the town, and those who work in institutions such as hospitals and schools in the town Four categories of work.

Among these four categories, apart from the item of "going to school", there is really no job that can be done for a six-year-old child.

But everyone in Zangdong Town on the whole street knows that the young Li Yuebo is actively "looking for a job". Not only Li's parents and Li mother are worried, but everyone is also worried, because the young Li Yuebo has been working hard for this matter. Year after year, he persisted earnestly. At first everyone thought he was joking, but now everyone is touched.

In the end, Uncle Luo Sanshu, who was the best farmer in the town, came up with a solution—raising ducklings.

This is actually what Luo Sanshu himself has to do. After retirement, Luo Sanshu went back to the town to farm. Because he is so handy in farming, he always makes new attempts from time to time.

How good it is to raise ducklings. It can earn money without delaying things. The most important thing is that the young Li Yuebo may not be able to persist in raising the ducklings—so he won’t “look for a job” again. up.

Adults are always like this, they can't help but test while caring.

It was late September at that time, and the autumn rice had just been harvested, and a lot of fine rice grains were scattered in the fields. Coupled with the high temperature, small fish and shrimps were active, so it was a good time to raise wild ducks.People in Zangdong Town only eat field ducks raised in free range.

Fearing that Li Yuebo would not like this not-so-high-profile job, Uncle Luo also described Li Yuebo in detail:

Drive the ducks out into the paddy field in the morning, and then drive them back from the field in the afternoon, and so on. After a while, these little furry creatures will feel as if they have been enlightened by a fairy. The moment of people's attention quietly grows up.

The soft yellow fluff has faded away, replaced by dense and bright feathers of various colors that cannot absorb a drop of water. Whenever they flap their wings in the sun, the water in the paddy field will fly out along with the edges of the opened wings. Shining crystal light, and those bright duck feathers of various colors bloom like soft satin flying in the hands of dancers, Yaoyao dotted the green and silent Fengquan Mountain.

After Luo Sanshu finished drawing, the six-year-old Li Yuebo only asked three questions-how much is a catty of duck meat, how much is a catty of duck eggs, and how to trade.

Uncle Luo is a romantic farming expert. He farms for the sentiment of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence". Compensation for not being able to answer.

Li Yuebo has been "sophisticated" since he was a child.

But when Ye Yue was taken away by Li Yuebo, he gave Uncle Luo a picture of the scene he had just painted - a blue-feathered field duck fluttering its wings in the sun, and Uncle Luo was healed in an instant.

This is one of the reasons why the entire Zangdong Town has been optimistic about them since childhood.

In this way, Li Yuebo, who was only six years old, had his first official job.

Every morning, Li Yuebo would get up early and go to Li's house to drive the ducks out and send them to the paddy field. Because the ducklings would have a little smell, and he was afraid of disturbing Ye Nai, so Li Yuebo always put the ducks in Li's house. Of course, he himself slept in Ye's house.

Li's father and Li's mother have long been accustomed to his son's behavior of eating inside and outside, so let him go.

After school in the afternoon, Li Yuebo went to the field to drive the ducks back to Li's house.

In the morning, because it was too early, Li Yuebo would not let Ye Yue go with him, but after school in the afternoon, he would hold a long duck driving pole in one hand and Ye Yue in the other, and go to the paddy field together Chasing ducks——Li Yuebo could see that Ye Yue's eyes were saying that he liked paddy fields.

The ducklings raised by Li Yuebo are the best in the town, especially compared with the ducks raised by Uncle Luo, it is hard to tell that they are from the same batch of ducklings.

But Ye Yue knew that it was because Li Yuebo was very serious - he was the first to get up, and he drove his ducklings to the fields as soon as it was dawn; he was the last to return, after school in the afternoon Afterwards, Li Yuebo would bring food with him, and he would drive the duckling home when it was almost dark.

The ducklings raised by Li Yue spend the longest time outside every day, and spend a lot of time looking for food, so they naturally grow well.

Ye Yue saw everything in his eyes, secretly a little envious.He is a man without dreams, but Li Yuebo always knows what he wants to do.

That day was the worst day in Zangdong Town that year.

It was fine in the morning, but after noon, the sky suddenly darkened as if the sun had been taken away, and the wind blew up. The big eucalyptus tree beside the school playground, which had always been stable and could only be hugged by two people, was blown away by the madness. Blowing like crazy to go crazy.

The school closed early, and Zangdong Town School had no parents to pick up their children on weekdays, but that day the school called the parents next to each other and asked them to pick up their children, which showed the bad weather.

Father Li came to pick them up.

But Li Yuebo didn't go back, he was going to chase his ducklings away.The father and son looked at each other strangely for a while, Ye Yue couldn't figure out what agreement they had reached in this pair of eyes, anyway, Father Li agreed.

Ye Yue also wanted to go, but Li Yuebo and Li's father disagreed.

So after returning home, taking advantage of Li's father and his grandma not paying attention, Ye Yue sneaked out.

The storm hadn't come yet, and the wind had calmed down a bit, but it was still very dark. Ye Yue prayed in his heart that there would be no thunder as he ran, because he was most afraid of thunder after dark on the thunderstorm night when he was 17 years old before Chuanshu.

When he ran to the paddy field, he didn't see Li Yuebo, but he saw a few ducklings running around in fright in the field.It should be that the weather changed too fast, and the ducklings scattered and ran away in fright. Li Yuebo might have gone to chase the fleeing troops.

Ye Yue rolled up his trousers and got out of the field.

Li Yuebo usually would not ask Ye Yue to go to the field, because after harvesting the autumn rice, there are still rice stubbles in the paddy fields, which can cut through the fragile soles of Omega's feet.

But Ye Yue couldn't take care of it anymore, his mind was full of the figure of Li Yuebo driving the duckling out every day and then driving the duckling back home.He himself is a person without dreams, but he knows that these ducklings carry Li Yuebo's dreams.

He didn't know what Li Yuebo's dream was, but he wanted to protect Li Yuebo's dream.

He went down to the field without the slightest hesitation.

The soles of the feet are excruciatingly painful.

The usually docile and obedient ducklings are now running wildly. Ye Yue followed closely behind them while calling, clumps of rice stubble cut his fragile soles one by one.

He followed as far as the ducks ran, and behind him was a long string of rice stubble that had been stepped down and popped up again.

When Li Yuebo came back from driving the large group of ducks, he saw Ye Yue guarding a few ducklings.

The trousers were rolled up high, and there was mud on his legs and feet, and Li Yuebo's eyes turned red all of a sudden.But Ye Yue raised his face and smiled at him.

A few ducklings who had left alone returned to the main force. Li Yuebo drove the ducks back with Ye Yue behind his back in one hand and waved his pole in the other. The soles of Ye Yue's feet were dripping with blood, drop by drop, on the grass , dripping on the field ridge, dripping in Li Yuebo's step-by-step footprints.

That was Ye Yue's first time "working overtime" with Li Yuebo. Li Yuebo's eyes were red, but Ye Yue was very happy.

He was a man without dreams at that time, but without dreams, he could protect Li Yuebo's dream and cheer for Li Yuebo's dream. He felt very happy. He lay on Li Yuebo's back and whispered: "Li Yuebo Yuebo, you will raise the best ducklings, come on."

A week later, Li Yuebo sold the first box of duck eggs. When he asked Ye Yue what he wanted to buy, Ye Yue returned a popsicle.

"Icicles." Li Yuebo repeated.

Ye Yue stretched out his hand and gently pulled his face: "Stop talking, Mama Li."

Only after knowing that he likes pudding, Li Yuebo will repeat this matter every time he works overtime with Li Yuebo.

Their car was stopping at a gas station to fill up on the way home.It was just that when giving the money, Ye Yue rushed to give the money before Li Yuebo, Li Yuebo frowned and said what nonsense, Ye Yue smiled at him: "I will cheer for you."

Li Yuebo has always been firmly on his side, and so is Ye Yue.

He listened to the words of his uncles on Caiye Road. He knew that Li Yuebo was in a difficult situation right now, but he would not persuade Li Yuebo to give up. He knew that he was cheering for Li Yuebo's dream when he was six years old and had no dreams. It will only get worse-he wants to cheer with Li Yuebo, no matter what is waiting ahead.

Li Yuebo's eyebrows relaxed, just like when he was six years old, his dream was cheering him on.
