Chapter 23 Little Peach Blossom is the Best!
The familiar big tree at the village entrance, the familiar elderly folks, the familiar fearlessness of the cold.
"Hey, what's going on at Old Man Lin's house today? Why are so many people coming to ask that girl to be a wedding doll? Only the most blessed doll in the whole area can be made like that."
"Who knows? Nobody's offered any explanation." The people who came stammered, but no one said why. They only had one goal: to have Little Peach Blossom as the bride's wedding doll.
"Something must have happened!" someone exclaimed, slapping their thigh.
"Isn't that obvious! If nothing happens, how will people know who Xiao Taohua is!" Even if Lin Guangsheng is famous, he's only known within a few production teams over the years. People further away don't even know who Lin Guangsheng is!
To put it bluntly, who do you think you are, a mere director? You're not a proper factory manager. Even if you were, many people would know, but not everyone would.
Of course, this director is quite powerful in their Xiaolin Village. The most powerful person they have ever met in their lives is probably Director Lin Guangsheng. Oh, no, they also met a factory director on New Year's Eve, but that was thanks to Director Lin.
It's heartbreaking to think about; people are really different.
Think about them, toiling in the fields for a living, working themselves to the bone every day to earn work points, while Lin Guangsheng sits in an office every day, and his monthly salary is more than what they earn in work points.
No, is this the time to feel sorry for them? Right now, it's their little peach blossom! Anyway, they've already accepted reality. The important thing is not to offend the Lin family, and it would be even better if they could latch onto their coattails!
Someone hesitated before speaking: "I think I probably know."
"What? You know? Tell me!" This sentence excited everyone.
Do you still remember that red market before the Lunar New Year?
"Blind man, are you trying to take pictures of flowers?!" Everyone knows about this incident. Back then, people even said that Little Peach Blossom was protected by God.
So the hesitant person continued, "Didn't they say something about a bolt from the blue, that evil people get their just desserts? Everyone probably thinks Little Peach Blossom is a lucky person."
"Really? You're kidding! It's actually quite possible!"
"It's probably really this."
“Oh dear, how come we didn’t think of that? I remember my aunt’s son’s colleague’s daughter is also getting married and looking for a wedding doll. I have to hurry up and go to the Lin family to ask.”
"Ask? Didn't you see they all refused today!"
"We're all from the same hometown."
"Fellow villager?"
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just asking, not forcing you to agree."
"Okay, then you can ask Lin Guangsheng when he gets back."
The other person stopped talking.
"Heh, I knew you wouldn't dare."
"So you didn't have this idea?!" the other party shouted, raising their chin.
Believe it or not, quite a few people have this idea, but this is the only one they've actually said.
"Hmph, you're all cowards, you don't even have as much guts as me!"
"You should say less."
"Why can't I say what I'm stating as fact?"
"You're always nagging, you're the most talkative person in the whole village!"
"Hey, I'm talking to you..."
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the people around them quickly intervened to break them up.
Fortunately, everyone eventually continued to gather together and talk about Lin Guangsheng's family.
I must say, it really does sound like a myth.
Even if there's nothing inside, it can suddenly become something just from people talking about it.
For example, it's said that Little Peach Blossom was a fairy sent down to earth by God, and she had to experience the seven emotions and six desires, which is why Little Peach Blossom was thrown away and then adopted by the Lin family.
There are also those who are destined for good fortune, who are supposed to go through tribulations, but God takes pity on them and turns bad things into good ones.
Anyway, there were all sorts of opinions, and in the end, everyone fell silent. Some even thought about going home and making a clay statue of Little Peach Blossom, burning three sticks of incense every morning and evening.
Fortunately, Lin Guangsheng didn't know; otherwise, he would have been terrified.
Their family avoids this kind of thing like the plague, but the villagers dare to do it in broad daylight. It just goes to show that ignorance is bliss; they don't know how strictly the authorities are cracking down on it.
Little Peach Blossom, who was still listless at home, had no idea that from this day forward, she, Little Peach Blossom, would become Niu Hulu Little Peach Blossom!
Oops, I misspoke. She was a celestial fairy who was banished from heaven by God, the kind that no one dared to offend.
The main reason is that this kind of saying is the most popular among people, and everyone thinks that this is the most correct one!
Little Peach Blossom: ...
Little Peach Blossom knew nothing.
Little Peach Blossom remained listless until Lin Guangsheng and his wife returned home. Upon hearing her parents' familiar voices, Little Peach Blossom's eyes lit up, and she jumped up and ran towards the door, shouting, "Mom and Dad, you're back!"
"Little Peach Blossom, Mommy and Daddy are back!" Lin Guangsheng stepped forward, picked up Little Peach Blossom, and lifted her high in the air.
"Dad, it's so tall."
Yin Qing patted the man's shoulder with dissatisfaction: "Aren't you afraid of hurting Xiao Taohua?"
As she spoke, she took the little peach blossom from Lin Guangsheng and held it in her arms.
"Mommy." Little Peach Blossom nuzzled her mother's cheek.
"Was Little Peach Blossom a good girl at home today?"
"Good girl, Little Peach Blossom is being especially good today. She just misses her mom and dad so much."
"Mom and Dad miss Little Peach Blossom so much too."
Little Peach Blossom happily snuggled into Yin Qing's arms, her giggles never stopping.
The couple carried Xiao Taohua into the house and greeted Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin.
"They're back. Quite a few people came to the house today, all wanting Little Peach Blossom to be their wedding doll," said Old Man Lin.
"Okay, thank you for your help today, Dad."
"Alright, just keep that in mind. We've already refused them all."
"Um."
The couple carried the little peach blossom back to their own room.
"What did Little Peach Blossom play at home today?" Yin Qing picked up her daughter and sat her on the bed, touching her face and little hands. They were warm and cozy.
"Little Peach Blossom isn't in the mood to play today; she's been thinking about her mom and dad."
"Really? Then our little peach blossom is really wronged."
"I'm not upset, Mom and Dad need to earn money to support Little Peach Blossom." Little Peach Blossom was very serious.
"But Mom and Dad hope that Little Peach can have fun at home, so that Mom and Dad can feel more at ease while they are at work."
"Then, then..."
"Um?"
"Then starting tomorrow, Little Peach Blossom should try her best to be happy."
"Being happy is not the same as working hard; it must come from the heart."
"Yes, Little Peach Blossom understands, and will definitely not let her parents worry."
Yin Qing immediately hugged her daughter with heartache: "If you're unhappy, then you're unhappy. Little Peach Blossom should be happy on her own, not just to avoid making her parents worry."
Is this okay?
"OK."
"Yes, Mom, I'm so happy right now."
"Really? Little Peach Blossom is wonderful!"
"Yes, Little Peach Blossom is the best!"
