There are relatively few residents in Wu Zhiqiu's compound, so in principle one person per 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 two young courtyards of nearby residents. They were assigned to patrol every three days, from 10 pm to 3 am. Usually the men in the family would volunteer to participate, but the men in Wu Zhiqiu's family were not at home, 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 around other courtyards, we saw that many old ladies also took the initiative to join in. Men usually have to go to work during the day, so they can catch up on their sleep at home. It's a good opportunity for them to have company, and the old ladies can also chat about family matters together, 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 were not at home, but they were here. 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 back quickly. Your work is very tiring. You can't not get enough rest at night." Wu Zhiqiu was idle all day, so how could she let her nephews take over for her.
"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.
"Go back quickly. I have made an appointment with my old sisters. We can still chat when we are together. What are you doing standing there like a telephone pole? Go back to sleep!" Wu Zhiqiu got angry.
Xinghu and Xingyuan shrank their necks and squatted at the door, refusing to go back. Wu Zhiqiu was furious, because she couldn't do anything to them, even though they were grown men.
"You two go back, I'll go with your aunt! I guarantee everything will 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?"
Xing Yuan rolled his eyes at her, stood up, and picked up Zhao Na and carried her aside like a chicken.
Zhao Na tried to sneak attack Xing Yuan, but she couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes. Zhao Na screamed in anger.
Tian Qingqing came into the yard panting and saw Xingyuan carrying Zhao Na around the yard. Zhao Na's face was flushed red and she was shouting in an unruly manner.
"Qingqing, why are you back again?" Tian Qingqing had just finished her meal, so 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, Zhiqiu just needs to press the one that has electricity.
Originally, Wu Zhiqiu didn't think she would encounter a thief. Even if she did, she would run away quickly. She wouldn't fight with the thief. But with this, she felt more confident.
