Chapter 343: Chapter 324: So Many People Came to Buy Peaches?

However, Ling Xiaoru wouldn’t have to ride her electric scooter.

"Xiaoru, you can ride on my motorcycle," Li You said to Ling Xiaoru.

Of course, Ling Xiaoru had come along too. There was no way she would miss it.

Ling Xiaoru nodded. "Okay."

Li You swung his leg over the motorcycle. Ling Xiaoru lifted her long leg and hopped on behind him.

They set off.

Li You led the way with Ling Xiaoru riding behind him. The customers followed, some on motorcycles, others on electric scooters.

The procession was massive, creating quite a spectacular sight. Many people stopped to watch as they passed.

This made the customers feel great. Those on motorcycles would deliberately squeeze the clutch and rev their engines, making them roar.

Of course, even with all the noise, it wasn’t loud enough to be considered a public nuisance.

Half an hour later, the convoy arrived at the entrance of Changle Village.

Such a massive group naturally drew the attention of the villagers the moment they entered.

After recognizing the person at the front—Li You, on a motorcycle with a beautiful woman—the villagers quickly understood that the people following him must be customers from his shop.

’I wonder what they’re here for this time?’

The villagers murmured amongst themselves.

After entering the village, the customers were all looking around.

’We’re finally at the boss’s village. We have to get a good look.’

’This village is nice.’

’It’s beautiful!’

It had everything: small bridges, flowing streams, quaint houses, green trees, and wildflowers.

It was like traveling through a painting.

Moreover, from both near and far, the continuous calls of various birds could be heard. Some birdsongs were familiar, while others were not.

Familiar or not, the birdsongs added a great deal of life to the scene.

Combined with the occasional sight of butterflies, dragonflies, and more, the customers felt an indescribable sense of comfort and joy.

"Boss, it seems like there are a lot of birds in your village!" many of the customers remarked.

Li You said, "There are. Everyone in the village loves birds and takes good care of them, so their numbers keep growing."

The customers all nodded. They could tell.

Ling Xiaoru was quite excited now, taking out her phone and snapping photos nonstop.

’I really wanted to come see Li You’s village last time.’

’Now I’m finally here.’

’It feels amazing, even better than I imagined. I should take more pictures.’

They drove on, taking in the sights.

Soon after, Li You led the group to the outside of Liu Liangzhong’s courtyard.

Liu Liangzhong, Lin Quan, and a crowd of other relatives were all waiting for Li You to arrive.

But when they saw the massive convoy, their eyes widened in astonishment once again.

’What’s going on? Why are there so many people?’

’Are all these people the customers that young man named Li You brought to buy peaches?’

’This is too ridiculous, isn’t it?’

They had all assumed Li You would bring a few people, a dozen at most. They never expected so many.

’If these people are really all here to buy peaches, Liu Liangzhong probably won’t have many peaches left.’

’Something this good just seems impossible.’

Everyone looked to Liu Liangzhong, waiting for his confirmation.

Liu Liangzhong himself was also very surprised. He hadn’t expected Li You to bring so many people either.

After the shock came a pleasant surprise. With so many people coming to buy peaches, he would probably sell at least half of his stock.

The thought alone was exciting.

’However, they might not all be here to buy peaches. I’ll know once I ask in a bit.’

’For now, I should just greet them.’

After Li You rode closer and stopped his motorcycle, Liu Liangzhong walked up and said with a smile, "Xiaoyou, you’re here. Welcome, everyone!"

This greeting confirmed for Lin Quan and the other relatives that the young man at the front was indeed Li You.

’The young man is so handsome! He’s very good-looking.’

At this moment, Ling Xiaoru’s long legs touched the ground as she got off the motorcycle first.

Lin Quan and the relatives all had looks of stunned admiration in their eyes.

’What a beautiful girl!’

’This girl is just too gorgeous. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great figure and is tall.’

’A girl like her is destined to attract countless gazes wherever she goes.’

’Since she got off that young man Li You’s motorcycle, she must be his girlfriend.’

’They make a perfect couple—a talented man and a beautiful woman.’

This was what the relatives were all thinking. And someone like Lin Quan, who didn’t have a girlfriend, was extremely envious.

’Why does he get a girlfriend, and such a beautiful one at that?’

’Sometimes, when I think about it, it just feels like life is unfair.’

’But then again, life has never been fair.’

All he could do was sigh helplessly.

’I just have to work harder to become a better person.’

Li You parked his motorcycle and exchanged pleasantries with Liu Liangzhong.

From their chat, Liu Liangzhong confirmed that these dozens of people were indeed all here to buy peaches.

This made Liu Liangzhong extremely excited. By selling these peaches today, he would earn several thousand yuan more.

And he didn’t even have to go through the trouble of hauling the peaches to town to sell them bit by bit.

’This is just too easy!’

By now, Lin Quan and the other relatives also understood that everyone was indeed here to buy peaches.

They were once again filled with admiration.

’This young man Li You is just incredible! How wonderful would it be if our village also had a young man like him?’

After that, Liu Liangzhong introduced Lin Quan and the other relatives to Li You. The customers Li You had brought had also parked their vehicles by now and gathered around.

Everyone exchanged greetings, and the scene became very lively.

After a while of lively chatter, Li You said to Liu Liangzhong, "Uncle Liu, let’s go pick some peaches."

Liu Liangzhong nodded. "Okay. I’ll grab some bags and a scale, then I’ll take you there."

"Okay."

Liu Liangzhong went back into the house and grabbed a handful of bags and a steelyard scale, then led Li You and the others toward the peach trees.

Lin Quan and all the other relatives tagged along.

They wanted to watch the excitement.

The peach grove wasn’t far from the courtyard, just a minute’s walk away.

About a dozen peach trees stood in a row. Their branches were laden with peaches—large and blush-pink over a white base, looking incredibly tempting.

Many customers couldn’t help but gasp, "Wow!" before taking a bag from Liu Liangzhong and starting to pick peaches.

Liu Liangzhong said, "You can eat them, help yourselves."

When the customers heard this, they all thanked Liu Liangzhong.

’The owner is so generous!’

Ling Xiaoru grabbed two bags, handed one to Li You, and said, "Boss, you pick too. Fill it up. I’ll pay for it later. I’m treating you to peaches."

"Hm?" Li You chuckled. "How can I let you do that? Why don’t I pay and treat you instead?"

Ling Xiaoru shook her head. "No, I’m treating you. Go on and pick, fill it up. I’m going to start picking too."

This time, Li You didn’t refuse. He laughed and said, "Well then, thank you very much, Miss Xiaoru."

He began to pick peaches.

’This bag is pretty big. If I fill it up, it’ll definitely be over ten jin. Ten jin or so should be enough, no need to fill it all the way.’

While Li You was picking, all the other customers were already picking as well.

They chatted with one another as they picked. Everyone was in high spirits, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Before long, the bag in Li You’s hands had become quite heavy.

’Around ten jin should be about right.’

He glanced at Ling Xiaoru. Her bag had about as many peaches as his, but she was still picking.

’Looks like she’s really planning to fill the bag to the brim.’

Ling Xiaoru was also looking at Li You. Seeing that he seemed to have stopped picking, she said, "Boss, keep picking! Fill it up."

Li You said, "This is about enough. Any more and I won’t be able to finish them all."

Ling Xiaoru said, "It’s only a dozen or so jin at most, how could you not finish them? Besides, you can take some home for your parents to eat. Now hurry up and pick."

’Alright then.’

Since Ling Xiaoru had insisted, Li You didn’t hold back.

He kept picking until the bag was full.

By this time, many of the other customers had also picked enough and were lining up to have their peaches weighed and paid for by Liu Liangzhong and Lin Quan.

Lin Quan was helping with the weighing, while Liu Liangzhong was in charge of collecting the money.

Li You and Ling Xiaoru got in line as well.

When it was their turn, they weighed both bags together. The total came to thirty-four jin.

yuan.

Ling Xiaoru paid the money. She had said she would treat Li You to peaches, and she was a woman of her word.

Gradually, everyone had their peaches weighed. By now, there weren’t many peaches left on the trees.

In total, everyone had bought about 850 jin combined.

Liu Liangzhong earned about 8,500 yuan.

This left him incredibly thrilled.
