There are relatively few residents in Wu Zhiqiu's compound, so generally one person from a family does not have to participate in patrols. In their compound, only her family, Da Laba, and Uncle Zhang's family need to participate.
The three families were arranged together with the yards of two young residents nearby to form a group. They patrolled once every three days, from 10 pm to 3 am. Usually the men in the family volunteered to participate, but none of the men in Wu Zhiqiu's family were willing, so she had to do it herself.
When Da Laba saw that Wu Zhiqiu was going on patrol, how could she not accompany her as a good sister? Uncle Zhang, as a man, felt it was inconvenient to go with two old ladies, so he asked Aunt Zhang to go with them.
The patrol team in the slum became the old ladies' patrol team. Looking at other courtyards, many old ladies also joined in. Men usually have to go to work during the day, and the old ladies can catch up on their sleep during the day. It's good to have company, and the old ladies can chat with each other, killing two birds with one stone.
On the evening of the third day, when it was Wu Zhiqiu's turn to patrol, Xingyuan and Xinghu both came running over and said they were willing to go in place of their aunt. This was a man's job, and their uncle and his family had no family, and what about them? It was so dangerous, how could they let their aunt go.
"The chairman has said that women hold up half the sky. Why do you still look down on us old ladies? Go away quickly. You are all very tired from work. It will be bad if you don't get a good rest at night." Wu Zhiqiu was idle all day long, so how could she let her nephews take her place?
"We are not tired, Auntie, you don't have to go, we two brothers will take turns to do it for you!" Xinghu was dissatisfied. They were strong and quick-witted, so this was the job they should do.
"Get out of here now. I've made an appointment with my old sisters. We can still chat when we get together. Why are you standing there like a telephone pole? Go to bed now!" Wu Zhiqiu got angry.
Xinghu and Xingyuan shrank their necks and squatted at the door, refusing to go in. Wu Zhiqiu was furious, because she couldn't do anything to them, even though they were grown men.
"You two go ahead, I'll accompany my aunt! I guarantee it'll be fine." Zhao Na also came out to join in the fun. She really wanted to join in the fun.
"It's not a big deal, what's the point of you trying to push it?" Xingyuan muttered softly.
Zhao Na... "Li Xingyuan, who are you talking about?"
Xingyuan rolled his eyes at her, stood up, and carried Zhao Na aside like she was carrying a chicken.
Zhao Na tried to sneak attack Xing Yuan, but she couldn't even touch his clothes. Zhao Na was so angry that she cried loudly.
Tian Qingqing came into the yard panting and saw Xingyuan carrying Zhao Na around the yard. Zhao Na's face was flushed and she was still making noises.
"Qingqing, why are you here again?" Tian Qingqing had just left after dinner, why did she come back? Wu Zhiqiu asked in confusion.
"Auntie, I went to my second brother's place to get you something good." Tian Qingqing smiled and took out a stick about 40 to 50 centimeters long from her arms.
"Electric baton?" Wu Zhiqiu looked at it for a few seconds.
Tian Qingqing nodded and said, "Auntie, with this, you will be safe on patrol." She was also worried that Wu Zhiqiu was old and might encounter an accident, so she went to Tian Xun to borrow some tools.
Qingqing put the condom on Wu Zhiqiu's wrist and taught her how to use it. This thing is not difficult to use, just know which button to press to activate the power.
Wu Zhiqiu never thought she would encounter a thief before. Even if she did, she would run away quickly. She would not fight with the thief. But with this, she felt more confident.
