Chapter 1315: Overcoming the Difficulties at hand

"I understand, brother. But sometimes, putting down what you are doing and relaxing may help you better cope with the next challenges." Zhao Aimin persuaded patiently.

Lou Zhenhua thought for a moment and finally sighed, "Maybe you are right. I am indeed a little upset right now, and maybe I really need to find a place to relax."

"That's right, brother. You can put down what you are doing temporarily, find a place to relax, and calm down your mood." Zhao Aimin said, hoping to help Lou Zhenhua relieve his stress.

Lou Zhenhua nodded and seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay, I will think about it."

While they were talking, a tavern owner came over with a plate of fragrant snacks, "Sir, this is our store's special delicacy, please try it."

Lou Zhenhua and Zhao Aimin couldn't help but swallowed when they smelled the alluring aroma. They ordered a snack and exchanged their worries and confusions while eating.

In the tavern, they seemed to have forgotten the complicated affairs of the courtyard, and just concentrated on enjoying the food and friendship in front of them. Gradually, a smile appeared on Lou Zhenhua's face, and his mood gradually relaxed.

"Zhao Aimin, thank you for drinking with me, and thank you for your advice." Lou Zhenhua patted Zhao Aimin's shoulder hard, "I have decided to find a place to relax tomorrow."

Zhao Aimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Lou Zhenhua's smile. He knows that sometimes it is normal to put down what you are doing and enjoy the fun of life.

In this way, in the tavern, the two residents of the courtyard spent a relaxing and enjoyable evening together. They chatted and drank over wine, confiding their hearts to each other, and bringing a touch of warmth and strength to each other.

Zhao Aimin was so anxious that he could not calm down. He felt that he also had responsibilities. As a member of the courtyard, he had not fulfilled his responsibilities towards a young man like Huaihua. So, he decided to discuss the matter with Lou Zhenhua.

That night, Zhao Aimin came to the tavern. He knew that Lou Zhenhua often spent time here. When he opened the door, the smell of tobacco and alcohol hit his face, and he saw Lou Zhenhua sitting in the corner, drinking quietly alone.

"Brother Lou." Zhao Aimin walked to Lou Zhenhua and patted his shoulder gently, "Do you have time? I have something to discuss with you."

Lou Zhenhua raised his head, saw Zhao Aimin's face, and smiled slightly, "Zhao Aimin, you are here. Is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

Zhao Aimin sat down and frowned, "Brother, I've been very worried about Sophora japonica recently."

"What's going on with Sophora japonica?" Lou Zhenhua looked at Zhao Aimin doubtfully, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Aimin smiled bitterly and began to tell Lou Zhenhua his troubles. "Brother, I want to tell you that over the years, I have always wanted to repay your life-saving grace. I know that if you hadn't saved me back then, I would have been gone long ago."

Lou Zhenhua looked a little emotional, "That's all in the past, you don't need to mention it again."

Zhao Aimin shook his head, "No, brother, I have always kept it in my heart. Over the years, I have risked my life to work just to repay you. But now, I feel that I have not done it."

Lou Zhenhua comforted: "You have done a good job, I don't expect you to repay me."

Zhao Aimin refused to give up, "I can't accept this fact. I have to do something to be worthy of you."

Lou Zhenhua pondered for a while, and then said gently: "Perhaps, we can work together to help Huaihua get out of the predicament. He is a good child, but sometimes he is careless. If we can give him some help and support, maybe he will be very grateful."

Zhao Aimin's eyes lit up, "Brother, this is a great idea! Let's find a way to help him and get him back on his feet."

So Zhao Aimin and Lou Zhenhua began to discuss, and they decided to find Huaihua, have a good talk with him, and give him some support and encouragement. They believe that as long as Huaihua is given some opportunities and guidance, he will be able to get back on his feet.

After a few glasses of wine, their conversation became more in-depth, as if the floodgates in their hearts were opened, and they poured out their gratitude and worries over the years. In this tavern filled with smoke and alcohol, their friendship became deeper and their souls were comforted.

In the tavern, Zhao Aimin and Lou Zhenhua sat together, each sipping the wine in their hands. The night outside the window gradually became darker, and the streets illuminated by the street lights seemed to be shrouded in a dreamy mist. Zhao Aimin frowned while rubbing his wine glass, as if he had unspeakable words.

Seeing this, Lou Zhenhua put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Zhao Aimin with concern, "Aimin, what's wrong with you? What's bothering you?"

Zhao Aimin thought for a moment and finally decided to tell Lou Zhenhua his troubles. "Brother, I have been worried about Sophora japonica these days." His tone was a little heavy. "You know, I have risked my life to work over the years just to repay you for saving my life."

After hearing this, Lou Zhenhua showed a look of surprise. He patted Zhao Aimin's shoulder gently, "Aimin, you don't have to say that. We have always been good friends and we should help each other."

Zhao Aimin shook his head, "Brother, I know what kind of person you are, and I have been trying my best to help with Sophora japonica. However, I always feel a little guilty in my heart."

Lou Zhenhua sighed. He understood Zhao Aimin's mood, "You are a good boy with a kind heart. But over the years, you have proven your worth with actions, not only to repay me, but also for yourself and your family ”

Zhao Aimin was filled with emotion after hearing this, and he nodded silently. "Brother, thank you for your understanding." He suddenly became angry, "However, if you hadn't saved my life back then, I might have left this courtyard long ago to look for better opportunities."

When Lou Zhenhua heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry, "You kid, why do you always like to make fun of me?"

Zhao Aimin laughed loudly, "Haha, you're just kidding, brother. I know you have always been very kind to me."

The conversation between the two gradually became relaxed and pleasant, and they chatted while sipping wine. Zhao Aimin lamented the warmth and harmony of the courtyard, while Lou Zhenhua silently prayed in his heart that Sophora japonica could overcome the difficulties ahead.

When Zhao Aimin heard Lou Zhenhua's words, a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that his life experience was unusual. He lost his parents when he was young. It was Lou Zhenhua who reached out to help him and pulled him into adulthood. This brotherhood is more precious than any words.
