Chapter 193: Striking the Gong
Seeing that Qin Mutong lost his temper, Zheng Qiuli not only did not feel flustered, but became a little excited.
It's good to lose her temper! Qin Mutong has to keep losing her temper, how can she let the village see how this Qin Mutong treats her pregnant old friend?
Besides, she has a big belly, she doesn't believe that Qin Mutong really dares to do anything to her!
Zheng Qiuli said with an old god: "Tong Tong, what you said is not right. It's not easy for me to have a big belly, and I've walked so far to your house, if it weren't for the sake of saying a few more words to you, why would I have to suffer this? I know, you're a high school student now, and you look down on us country girls...... But no matter how much you look down on you, then we are still good friends! You can't forget your roots in order to climb high branches, right?"
After all, they're not all the same country girls!
Zheng Qiuli felt a little sour in her heart.
Qin Mutong smiled angrily and said, "Are you good friends with me?" That's really sorry, I didn't feel that way from beginning to end. I think you're determined to find fault today, right? Why don't you leave?"
Zheng Qiuli looked aggrieved: "Tong Tong, we grew up together, you don't even treat me as a friend?! You are too much, right? You can't be as heartless as you!"
Her man also looked at Qin Mutong disapprovingly, with a lot of pickiness in his eyes, as if he was saying how could there be such an unreasonable girl as her in the world.
Qin Mutong took a deep breath: "Okay, then you won't leave, you can sit here!"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Mutong turned around and entered the house.
Zheng Qiuli's eyes lit up, and there was a little smug in her eyes.
She knew that Qin Mutong couldn't do anything with her at all!
Thinking that Qin Mutong might just go into the house to get her honey at this time, Zheng Qiuli became more and more proud. She glared at the man standing next to her stupidly, and said angrily: "You don't have a brain?! I've walked so far, my legs are sore, and you don't know how to pinch me well! If you turn around and tire me and make my son in my stomach uncomfortable, I'm not done with you!"
The man was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to pinch Zheng Qiuli's feet.
His movements were very skillful, and he even knew that using a little bit of strength would make Zheng Qiuli feel more comfortable, and he was obviously used to doing this kind of work for a long time.
Zheng Qiuli sat on the chair like an Lafayette, and a little maid stood next to her to bring her tea and water.
When Qin Mutong walked out, he saw such a scene.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, when a woman is pregnant, men should take more care of women and be more considerate. It is indeed not easy to conceive for ten months, and the men in the family should try to help share a little.
But in this era, especially in the patriarchal countryside, it is really rare for men to serve women like this!
Especially Zheng Qiuli's arrogant attitude makes people feel uncomfortable to watch.
Zheng Qiuli also saw Qin Mutong who came out again.
And Qin Mutong did have something in his hand.
However, to her surprise, what Qin Mutong was holding in her hand was not the honey water she imagined, but a gong!
Zheng Qiuli was stunned: "Tong Tong, what are you doing with this thing......
Generally speaking, when there is something important in the village, the village chief will walk from east to west in the village with such a gong, shouting while knocking to attract the attention of the villagers, and then shouting what he wants to say to everyone.
Or, when someone has a wedding or funeral, they will also use such a gong.
This is so good, Qin Mutong took out such a gong, doesn't it make people feel very strange!
Qin Mutong smiled at Zheng Qiuli, then restrained his face, walked outside the courtyard with the gong trail, and then slammed a stick on the gong surface!
A loud "bang" sounded, and Zheng Qiuli, who was sitting in the yard, almost jumped up!
What kind of tricks is this girl doing?
This thought just flashed through Zheng Qiuli's mind, and in the next second, she heard Qin Mutong shouting loudly while beating the gong: "Uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts, everyone come and have a look! But my family is poor, where does the honey come from? I told the guests, but the guests just didn't listen, and they made a fuss about raiding our home. I can't afford to mess with him, if anyone has honey at home, just lend me some! When I get back, I'll go to the town to buy some and come back, and I'll pay it back to everyone immediately, and I won't be in arrears!"
At this time, it was still in the New Year's Festival, and many people were entertaining guests who came to pay New Year's greetings. Especially there are many people living around the Qin family, and Qin Mutong's gong immediately attracted many people to come out of the house to see the excitement.
Then, everyone heard what Qin Mutong shouted.
Everyone: "......"
Where did this come from, in the first month of the New Year, you have to beg for honey water to drink? If the master's family doesn't have it, he has to raid other people's homes, forcing the shy little girls of the Qin family to come out and find someone to borrow honey!
That's right, Qin Mutong's image in the hearts of the people in the village is that she is a girl who can read and is very shy.
Everyone usually doesn't see the Qin family girl walking around the village, if this is not called shyness, then what is shyness?
The people outside heard Qin Mutong's shouting, and Zheng Qiuli and his wife in the courtyard naturally heard it too.
Zheng Qiuli was dumbfounded: "This, this, this...... How dare Qin Mutong do this?!"
Her man is also stupid.
How can there be such shamelessness and ...... What about the daring girls?!
Mrs. Li's voice was already heard outside the courtyard: "Tong Tong, which guest is so arrogant, like that bandit coming to the door? What about your grandmother? If she is not there, you little girl's family is indeed easy to be bullied!"
It's a coincidence.
The old lady went to the village chief's house for Qin Mutong's father, Qin Dazhi's pension.
In the past, the Qin family collected money every year, and the village chief usually sent it to the old lady in person. Now that the old lady has moved to the county seat with Qin Mutong, the old lady wants to discuss with the village chief whether she can send anything directly to the county seat when something is sent in the future.
didn't think that the old lady would go out, and Zheng Qiuli followed the door.
Qin Mutong smiled bitterly: "My milk is out." Not to mention this, Grandma Li, do you have honey at home? This is the first time I have entertained guests by myself, no matter what the guests want, I have to try to serve them to others!"
Mrs. Li was good friends with the Qin family, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "My old lady has lived for decades, and she has never seen a guest who has to drink honey water!
