Siheyuan: starting from signing in to get roasted pig's trotters

Chapter 1324 A depressing atmosphere

So, Zhao Aimin and his son walked out of the kitchen and came to the yard. The sun was shining on the ground, and the flowers and plants in the yard were swaying, as if waving to them.

"Dad, let's play hide and seek!" the son suggested excitedly.

"Okay, I'll count, you go hide." Zhao Aimin said with a smile.

The son ran away happily, while Zhao Aimin closed his eyes and started counting. When he counted to ten, a trace of doubt arose in his heart. The atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to be a little different, which was revealed in the surrounding silence.

When he counted to "ten", he opened his eyes and began to look around for his son. But after walking around the yard, he found no sign of his son.

"Son, where are you?" Zhao Aimin shouted anxiously.

"Dad, I'm here!" The son's voice suddenly came from not far away.

Zhao Aimin breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and saw his son hiding in a corner, smiling from ear to ear.

"You scared me." Zhao Aimin smiled and hugged his son, "Come, let's play again."

In the cafeteria of the courtyard, people sat around eating breakfast and talking and laughing. However, the recent political turmoil has given them some heavy topics to talk about.

Zhao Aimin was sitting at a long table. When he heard several people next to him starting to talk about the dean being labeled as a rightist, he felt a surge of dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Have you heard? The dean has been branded as a rightist. This is ridiculous!" an older worker said dissatisfied.

"Yes, the dean has always been very kind to us, how could he be a rightist?" Another worker also echoed.

Zhao Aimin frowned. He was not interested in politics, but he felt very unfair that the dean had been wronged.

"This is really unfair. The dean is the leader of our courtyard, how could he be a rightist?" Zhao Aimin also joined the discussion.

"Yeah, I think someone must have framed him." A young apprentice said.

"Yes, I think so too." Zhao Aimin nodded in agreement.

In the cafeteria, people expressed their support and sympathy for the dean. They felt that the dean was an upright and kind person and could not be involved in political issues.

Zhao Aimin was also filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He decided to speak out for the dean and let more people know his innocence and integrity.

After breakfast, Zhao Aimin decided to find some comrades to discuss countermeasures. They discussed how to issue a statement calling for fair review and redress of the dean's grievances.

Zhao Aimin was treating an old lady in a small clinic in a courtyard. This old lady's name is Lou Tan, a neighbor in the courtyard. She has never been in good health and often comes to see Zhao Aimin for medical treatment.

"Dr. Zhao, I feel stomach pain again this time. I really can't stand it." Lou Tan rubbed his stomach and said with a distressed look on his face.

Zhao Aimin checked carefully and found that Lou Tan's stomach was somewhat inflamed, so he prescribed some medicine for her and asked her to pay attention to her diet and rest.

"Aunt Lou, you must take your medicine on time and rest more. Your stomach pain will gradually get better." Zhao Aimin persuaded gently.

Lou Tan nodded and looked at Zhao Aimin gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Zhao, for always caring about me so much."

Zhao Aimin smiled and shook his head, "Neighbors should help each other. This is what I should do."

At this moment, Lou Tan suddenly paused and looked at Zhao Aimin with a somewhat uneasy expression.

"Dr. Zhao, I have something to tell you..." Her voice was slightly nervous.

Zhao Aimin was stunned for a moment and asked with concern: "What's the matter? What do you want to say to me?"

Lou Tan swallowed, and then whispered: "I...I'm pregnant again."

When Zhao Aimin heard the news, his eyes widened in surprise, but then he smiled happily. "That's great, congratulations, Aunt Lou!"

Seeing Zhao Aimin's smile, Lou Tan's nervousness and anxiety gradually dissipated. She knew that Zhao Aimin was a kind and reliable person who would support her through this special period.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhao. I'm really lucky to have a neighbor like you." Lou Tan said gratefully.

After Yi Zhonghai heard the news that Lou Tan was pregnant again, he felt somewhat conflicted. He felt that this matter was a bit embarrassing. After all, Lou Tan was already an old woman, and it was indeed unexpected to be pregnant again. But at the same time, he also understood that as a neighbor, he should respect Lou Tan's choice and decision.

Lou Tan, on the other hand, does not feel ashamed of her pregnancy. On the contrary, she feels that it is a very happy thing. Although she is no longer young, she still has hope and love for life. This child is a new hope and motivation for her.

"Zhonghai, you see, this matter is actually not a big deal." Lou Tan said gently, "This child is a God-given gift to me, and I am looking forward to it very much."

After listening to her words, Yi Zhonghai's inner conflicts gradually dissipated. He took a deep look at Lou Tan and felt the determination and joy in her heart.

"Aunt Lou, I understand your choice and I will respect your decision." Yi Zhonghai said frankly, "If you need any help, I will fully support you."

After hearing these words, Lou Tan felt warm and grateful in her heart. "Thank you, Zhonghai, you are such a good neighbor."

Zhao Aimin and Lou Tan walked into the small clinic together. This simple and warm space was filled with a faint fragrance of medicine. Zhao Aimin pointed to a simple bed and chair and said gently to Lou Tan: "Aunt Lou, please sit down first and I will check you out."

Lou Tan listened, nodded, and slowly sat on the bed chair. There was a hint of exhaustion on her face, but there was expectation and trust in her eyes.

Zhao Aimin took a medical instrument and carefully examined Lou Tan. He carefully observed Lou Tan's expression and body reactions, trying to find out the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

"Aunt Lou, your stomach pain this time may be due to some inflammation in the stomach. I have prescribed some medicines for you to relieve pain and reduce inflammation." Zhao Aimin explained seriously.

Lou Tan nodded and looked at Zhao Aimin gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Zhao, for always taking care of me so carefully."

Zhao Aimin smiled and shook his head, "Neighbors should help each other. This is what I should do."

He handed the prescription to Lou Tan and told her to take the medicine on time and pay attention to rest and diet. Lou Tan received the prescription and was extremely grateful. She knew that with Zhao Aimin's help, her condition would be much better.

"Dr. Zhao, I really appreciate you, you always care about me so much." Lou Tan said with emotion.
