Chapter 660: Chapter 660: Sales Channels

As soon as Village Chief Sun saw the child, his eyes lit up, “This must be our little granddaughter, right? Look at her, she really stands out, those eyebrows are eyebrows, those eyes are eyes, so fair and chubby, even better looking than those New Year paintings.”

Sun Bingnan nearby: “Dad, if you can’t praise people properly, don’t overdo it.”

Village Chief Sun might not be good at praising people, but what he said came from the heart.

At his age, who doesn’t like children?

Especially children who look good.

He thought of something, bent down and rummaged through his bag, finally taking out two large peaches.

The golden yellow peaches, each as big as Village Chief Sun’s fist, were held in front of Qi Qi, “Look what Grandpa Sun has brought you? These peaches are grown on the mountain in our village, all thanks to your mom who had us plant them. Look at the size of this, isn’t it pleasing to the eyes? Not only is it pleasing, but it also tastes sweet. But such good peaches don’t have any recognition, can you believe it? Is it just because they’re not red or green? Or because they don’t have fuzz, which even saves washing…”

Behind him, Village Chief Sun started talking to himself, his brows furrowing.

Sun Bingnan shrugged helplessly at Lin Chuxia, here we go again.

Lin Chuxia picked up the conversation, “The peaches from the mountain have come down? I’ve only heard Third Bro talk about it, didn’t expect them to be this big. I’ll wash some to taste.”

Village Chief Sun suddenly perked up, “Who says it’s not so, our peaches are not only big but also sweet. I picked these from the tree early this morning, worried that if you can’t finish them they’d spoil, so I picked the hard ones especially. Our peaches, when eaten hard, are crisp and sweet, and after a few days, they’ll soften up and be sweet and soft, making you want more after one bite. Today, Old Three and I specifically came here to bring you peaches.”

“Is that so? Uncle Sun, hearing you say that, I have to try them.”

The peaches were too big, Lin Chuxia washed three, cut them into small pieces, and placed them on a plate to serve, first offering a piece to Zhuang Jingshu, “Mom, try this. It’s from the mountains of Daqing Mountain Village, a good variety of yellow peach, in its second year of fruiting.”

Her addressing her as mom made both Village Chief Sun and Sun Bingnan exchange glances, feeling genuinely happy for Lin Chuxia.

His wife had mentioned it at home before, about how Chuxia had suffered so many grievances at the Lin Family, and finally found her mother, only to be mistaken. Who knew if that girl would hold a grudge and then not acknowledge her birth mom?

Although her mom was blind to this situation, after all, it was the Lin Family’s sins, and if it really turned out that way, Chuxia would ultimately be the one wronged.

After all, she would lose someone who loves her.

But unexpectedly, this mother and daughter got along quite well.

Village Chief Sun thought to himself that he should mention this to his wife when he gets home, Chuxia is indeed a reasonable girl.

Zhuang Jingshu also didn’t expect Lin Chuxia to give her face like this in front of these people.

Their time together recently had been pleasant, with Zhuang Jingshu living on campus at the faculty housing, going to the market every day to buy groceries, cook meals, take care of the child, and chat with her daughter.

While their life was plain, it brought her immense satisfaction.

After spending time in this way, she realized that her daughter really didn’t blame her, and their relationship grew increasingly close.

But in front of these two men who came from Daqing Mountain Village, who had watched Lin Chuxia grow up, she called her so naturally.

Zhuang Jingshu felt a warmth in her heart, taking the peach handed over by Lin Chuxia and taking a bite, nodding continuously, “The taste is indeed good, but the texture is somewhat different from the fuzzy peach.”

This season is when the peaches are coming off, and just days ago she bought some at home: the Jiubao Peaches that people liked the most right now.

These peaches had firm flesh, low fiber, were juicy, and had a strong sweetness. The locals favored them.

The yellow peaches in front of her were crisp and sweet, but not as sweet as the Jiubao Peaches, with a slightly astringent aftertaste.

Lin Chuxia also took a piece to taste, “There is indeed a difference. This peach might not sell well on the market, right?”

Her words struck a chord with Village Chief Sun.

He might praise them, but he knew the state of the peaches well.

The first basket of peaches from the mountain was personally carried to the market by him to sell.

But no one knew what he was selling; those who asked were just looking out of curiosity, but shook their heads when it came to spending money.

Later, he had no choice but to cut the peaches into small pieces, offering samples before buying, but the effect wasn’t good either.

For the same money, people preferred to spend an extra ten cents to buy fuzzy peaches rather than eat his.

Those who bought them just wanted to try something new.

“Right now is the season when the mountain peaches are coming down, if we don’t pick them they’ll rot on the trees. Our family is fine, but there are several other families in the village who planted them with us. Chuxia girl, your Uncle Sun came to see you, even at the cost of losing face. To be blunt, when those families followed your uncle to plant trees, I already boasted your Uncle Sun’s ability. Now that the peaches are here with no market, I have no face left as a village chief.”

After saying this, Village Chief Sun sighed again.

His oldest and second sons followed Lin Chuxia in raising chickens, making a great profit and the new house was about to be up.

This yellow peach business was also arranged for the youngest son by Lin Chuxia. He thought that following Chuxia girl would definitely not end in loss, bringing along fellow villagers so that Daqing Mountain Village could stand tall. But who would’ve thought, his third son had no idea what to do with these peach trees either.

While on the surface no one said anything to his face, how could those words not reach his ears?

Everyone’s land was accounted for, and fruit trees, once delayed, were a few seasons lost. Now he knew a few households were considering cutting down the trees to plant grain instead.

They waited two years, and now the trees were bearing fruit just to be cut down. Who would be willing, who wouldn’t feel heartache?

Lin Chuxia turned to Sun Bingnan, “How about over at Wang Cheng’s side? Is there also no market?”

“He can handle some, right now we manage our own fruit trees best, and the fruits they bear are mostly sold through Wang Cheng. The rest relies on my dad to sell at the market.”

As soon as Sun Bingnan said this, Village Chief Sun stared at him in disbelief, “You still have a market? Didn’t you sell at the county?”

Sun Bingnan innocently spread his hands, “Yes, I sold at the county, at the Qin Family Village Vegetable Market.”

Village Chief Sun raised his hand and slapped him, “You little rascal, dare to fool me.”

Who didn’t know that Qin Family Village Vegetable Market belonged to Lin Chuxia, and Wang Cheng was under Lin Chuxia, the person in charge of the vegetable market.

He sold peaches to Wang Cheng, was there no trickery involved?

Yet this kid kept his mouth shut tight.

Every day the duo went out with peaches, the son would sell them early, while this old father struggled to sell even half. If he hadn’t noticed that other families selling yellow peaches were in the same situation, he would have called this rascal his dad.

This kid told him nothing about it.
