After Zhou Xianyu and his family left, Village Chief Wang organized a guard team in the village that afternoon. It was mainly composed of males from each household, and everyone between the ages of fifteen and forty had to participate.
Qian Xingshan was the only one in the Qian family who met this requirement, so he joined the guard team.
The guard was divided into ten teams, each with ten people, responsible for patrolling around the village and standing guard at night.
If they found any refugees entering the village, they would chase them away immediately. If they saw bandits entering the village, they would be responsible for ringing the warning gong, and all the villagers would come out immediately to fight the bandits.
The weapons of the guards are also varied, including hoes, shovels, sickles, blades, and even chopping boards.
Qian Chunhua handed his telescopic stun baton to Qian Xingshan and taught him how to use it. He also asked Qian Xingshan to return the stun baton to him after the patrol.
It's not that Qian Chunhua was reluctant to give the baton to her brother, but she needed to make sure the baton had sufficient battery. If Qian Xingshan handed the baton back, Qian Chunhua would need to recharge it.
Finally, Qian Chunhua reminded Qian Xingshan that the electric baton must not leave his side and must not be given to anyone or even shown to anyone.
Qian Xingshan agreed to all these requests.
Three days later, it was time to celebrate the little girl's birthday.
Qian Chunhua got up early in the morning and started working in the shop with Qian's mother. They planned to close the shop after the first half of the year and wait until after the second half of the year to do anything else.
At the home of landlord Sun in the suburbs of Nanzhou County, Sun Meiping and Zhao Yongwen packed up their belongings early in the morning, planning to take the children back to Huanghualing to spend the New Year with their parents.
When Sun Meiping was about to leave, the landlord Sun called his daughter.
"Meiping, you and Yongwen come here." Landlord Sun had a very serious expression.
Zhao Yongwen and Sun Meiping looked at each other, wondering what happened to their father so early in the morning.
Leaving the child in the care of grandma's mother, the couple came to their father's side.
"This time when you go home, discuss with your parents to see if you can move to the capital with us." Landlord Sun expressed his plan.
He had already received news that the bandits were now out of control. Bandits were not only found in Ganzhou and other places, but also in the border area between Yongning Prefecture and Ganzhou.
Their family lived here and was a well-known landlord in the vicinity. Whenever bandits came, they would visit their house first.
Landlord Sun made up his mind to move to the capital of Yongning Prefecture. In the capital, there was the King of Yongning and the local soldiers. He believed that the bandits would not be so bold.
Besides, there are more wealthy people in the city, and Landlord Sun believes that he will no longer be a fat piece of meat in the eyes of those bandits.
However, when it came to whether to take his daughter and her family with him, Landlord Sun hesitated.
Landlord Sun knew that his son-in-law had separated from the Zhao family, but the two elders of the Zhao family had also become independent. The eldest and the second elder had fallen out, and the second elder was no longer around.
The retirement care of the Zhao family's two elders now falls on their son-in-law. Landlord Sun is willing to take his daughter's family with him, but he is not willing to take his in-laws with him.
Just when his daughter and her family were about to leave, Landlord Sun looked at his lovely granddaughter and changed his mind temporarily.
Never mind, bringing my son-in-law and my parents along will just mean two more mouths to feed.
Landlord Sun had no choice but to make a choice for his granddaughter and daughter. He couldn't bear to abandon his daughter and granddaughter to face the bandits.
"Move to the provincial capital?" Zhao Yongwen and his wife were shocked.
When they heard what Landlord Sun said about the bandits, they knew in their hearts that this was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, Zhao Yongwen felt a little embarrassed to bring his parents along, as this would make him a gigolo.
Sun Meiping looked at her husband helplessly, sighed, and asked, "Dad, when are we leaving?"
Landlord Sun: "After the day has passed, we will leave."
The New Year's Eve is just a few days away. After the New Year's Eve, the whole family will move to the provincial capital.
