The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 88, Street Patrol

In the early morning, he was busy sending the old lady to the hospital and settling accounts with Buddha. Li Weiguo had a hasty lunch at noon and then lay down on the bed to take a nap. When he woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as I left the house and was about to go out for a walk, I saw the third uncle inviting everyone in the front yard to go to the middle yard for a meeting.

When the third uncle saw Li Weiguo coming out, he said, "Weiguo, it's just the right time for you to come out. There's a meeting in the Intermediate Court, let's go there together."

"Meeting? What is it about?"

"The neighborhood committee has issued a notice. You'll know when you get there. Let's go."

Li Weiguo nodded, did not ask any more questions, went back to the house to get the bench, and followed the third uncle and others to the middle courtyard for a meeting.

When we came to the middle courtyard, most of the residents had arrived, and the spacious middle yard seemed a bit crowded at this time.

Hundreds of people, standing and sitting, men and women, young and old, gathered around the Eight Immortals table in the middle, waiting for the three uncles to speak.

Li Weiguo nodded to the neighbors around him, then carried the bench to sit next to the Shazhu brothers and sisters, right next to the rain.

Li Weiguo found it quite interesting to see the crowd of people gathered in a circle, so he put his hand into his pocket and took out a large handful of melon seeds from the still space. He gave a handful to each of the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters, eating them while watching. play.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, the uncle put down the enamel jar in his hand and said: "Just now, Director Wang of the neighborhood committee came to assign a task. According to the instructions from the superiors, the city will launch a security rectification recently. The / governance / movement / campaign lasts for half a month. The neighborhood committee and the police station asked each hospital to send some manpower to accept the leadership of the public security committee / member / committee and strengthen patrols on the streets at night.

Everyone knows the specific situation. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, immigrants and local gangsters are looking for ways to make money and obtain supplies. Some are stealing, robbing, defrauding, trafficking, and speculating. The security situation on the streets has also become worse. Things are getting worse and worse. Even when the old lady went out today, she was raped by Lord Buddha.

Therefore, participating in street security patrols is closely related to each of our courtyards and each individual. According to regulations, our hospital will send three young men to participate in the patrol. The patrol time is from 6 pm to 10 pm, and there will be a subsidy of 3 yuan. Let's discuss it and see who is suitable. Is there anyone who has signed up?"

After the old man finished speaking, he looked up at Xu Damao, Shazhu, Liu Guangqi and other young men, hoping that someone would take the initiative to sign up.

After listening to what Yi Zhonghai said, the residents at the scene began to talk about it. The situation on the street was indeed as Yi Zhonghai said. At the end of the year, all kinds of ghosts and ghosts wanted to come out to earn some money.

However, the few young men and women present remained silent. This was not a good job. In the middle of winter, the north wind in the imperial capital was as sharp as a knife. Patrolling in the middle of the night, the warm quilt was not fragrant.

Xu Damao was a rich man in the courtyard. How could he be willing to do this kind of hard work? Seeing the uncle looking over, he quickly waved his hand and said: "Master, the screening tasks given to me by the factory are very heavy this year. I have to go to the commune frequently. There’s no stopping, I might not be able to come back for a few days, so I won’t participate.”

The first man knew that Xu Damao was cunning and had an excuse, so he stopped counting on him and turned to look at Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu quickly shook his head: "Master, please don't look at me. You know the situation of the kitchen in the cafeteria. There are many receptions in the factory at the end of the year. I often have to work overtime. I don't know when I will come back from get off work. You can choose someone else." After saying that, he put his hands into his sleeves, making it clear that he would not participate.

Jia Dongxu and Liu Guangqi also look at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses. They pretend they haven’t seen anything and it has nothing to do with me.

Although there is a subsidy, people like Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, Xu Damao, and Liu Guangqi who have jobs do not take the 3 yuan subsidy seriously.

After all, we have to patrol for 4 hours, for half a month. In this winter, we have to work all day during the day, and we have to endure hunger and cold on patrol at night. Isn't this suffering?

However, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, who were still in school, were a little moved. Although the money was not much, it was at least a little bit. After all, they usually didn't have much pocket money.

The first uncle watched for a long time, but no one came forward, so he had to look at the second uncle and the third uncle: "Old Liu, Lao Yan, what do you think?"

Liu Haizhong cleared his throat and said: "Ahem. Well, let me say a few words. This security patrol is an action led by the street office, and all neighborhood committees and courtyard houses below must actively cooperate. It is related to the end of the year for our courtyard house. Excellent review, I hope everyone”

After saying that, Liu Haizhong looked around, hoping that someone would agree, but unfortunately, there was still no one.

Liu Haizhong touched his nose in embarrassment and said to the third uncle, "What about that? Lao Yan, please tell me a few words."

The third uncle thought about it for a while. It cost 3 yuan per person. It was just right for the two young boys in the family to go back from school. It was 6 yuan for two people. Others didn't care about it, but he did. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain.

So, he said: "In our courtyard, those who have jobs have to go to work during the day. If they have to patrol again at night, it will affect the work of the next day. Why not let the boys who have no jobs go, such as my family?" Xie Cheng, Jiefang. Xie Cheng is 17 years old, and Jiefang is 15 years old. It should be no problem to participate in patrols. To contribute to the community, he should take the lead."

When the third uncle said this, Liu Haizhong realized that his two little ones can participate after school, and the half-grown ones can also take part in the work, so he quickly said: "My family's Guangtian and Guangfu can also participate. "

The first uncle looked around at the residents in the courtyard and saw that no one was competing for this useless job. It was just the Liu family and the Yan family who had ideas, so he said: "Since everyone has no objections, then the second uncle's family, Guangtian, and the third uncle's family are all interested." Let's go to the uncle's house. They are not too young anymore and can take on the responsibility, but they are the last one."

Li Weiguo was speechless when he saw that he had to spend a long time in a meeting to deal with any serious matter. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and said, "Master, count me in."

He was so idle every day now, and he was not used to going to bed so early every night. He happened to go out for fun and wanted to see what monsters and monsters were on the streets.

"Okay, Weiguo is a professional security guard, and you can lead Xie Cheng and Guangtian. Then this matter is settled. After dinner, you go to the neighborhood committee to report to Director Wang. It's best to be early. He's six Start patrolling now." The first man said.

It would be best if someone could lead the team. The first man was also worried that the two half-year-olds who were still studying would not be able to hold up the scene. It would be embarrassing if the chain dropped during patrol.

"Okay, I understand." Li Weiguo, Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangtian nodded and replied.

In the evening, after having a quick bite, Li Weiguo called Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian to walk to the neighborhood committee.
