Chapter 183 Don’t Move
Lu Xiaoting nodded, lowering his voice, "Alright, aunties, I’ve got it all. Keep an eye on the kids during this special period. Try to stay at home and keep the doors locked."
Many families in the neighborhood knew Lu Xiaoting and his wife Susu, not because they were particularly high-profile, but rather due to their triplets.
As soon as the triplets were mentioned, gradually everyone got to know the couple and learned that the father of the triplets was a police officer at the local police station.
The reason it took a whopping ten minutes to get from the usual couple-of-minutes walk from the alley entrance to their home today was that they ran into old men and women along the way, who stopped to chat for a good while.
Without exception, they all told Lu Xiaoting that they had seen a lot of unfamiliar faces today.
For the old folks who had lived in this area for decades, it wasn’t just about which family everyone knew well and what they could talk about.
At the very least, when they met, they could exchange simple pleasantries like "Have you eaten?" or "Are you heading out?"
If there were unfamiliar faces in the alley, they could usually figure out whose aunt or uncle they were.
Not to mention, with the crime surge recently, several families had been robbed and some people even ended up in the hospital, making everyone on edge.
When they kept seeing unfamiliar faces every day, they couldn’t help but speculate, and all couldn’t wait to tell Lu Xiaoting what they had noticed.
