Chapter 112 Maybe She Knows Xiaoyong’s Whereabouts
"Jie Di, don't worry. I will accompany you to find the Liu family and resolve this matter." He Yuliang said soothingly.
Jie Di nodded, feeling a little relieved. They walked to Liu's yard together. The door of Liu's house was closed, and it seemed that no one was home.
"What should we do? The Liu family is not at home." Jie Di said anxiously.
He Yuliang thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Liu's eldest sister, Mother Liu, often sold vegetables at the morning market, so he suggested: "Let's go find Mother Liu, maybe she knows Xiaoyong's whereabouts."
Jie Di nodded, and the two hurried to the morning market. In a corner of the market, they found Mother Liu, who was bargaining with a customer, looking busy.
"Hello, Mama Liu." He Yuliang bowed politely.
When Mother Liu saw He Yuliang and Jie Di, she smiled friendly and said, "Oh, it's Yuliang and Jie Di. What's going on?"
Jie Di walked up to him and said earnestly, "Mother Liu, do you know where Xiaoyong is? I want to have a good talk with him."
Mother Liu nodded and said with a slightly tired look, "Xiaoyong should be on his way back. You can wait for him at the gate of the courtyard."
He Yuliang and Jie Di thanked Liu's mother and left the market in a hurry. After a while, they arrived at the gate of the courtyard and waited quietly for Xiaoyong's arrival.
After a while, Xiao Yong hurried back and saw He Yuliang and Jie Di. He asked in surprise, "Yuliang, Jie Di, what are you doing here?"
Jie Di rushed forward and angrily asked, "Xiaoyong, why did you lie just now! It was obviously you who broke the ball, why are you blaming me?!"
Xiao Yong scratched his head uncomfortably after hearing Li Di's question, but still refused to admit it: "I...I didn't! You kicked it away by yourself!"
Jie Di was so angry that her face turned pale. She stared at Xiao Yong with her eyes wide open, as if she wanted to devour him. Seeing this, He Yuliang hurried forward to stop her: "Jie Di, calm down."
He Yuliang looked at the confrontation between Jie Di and Xiao Yong, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew that this quarrel was enough to make Jie Di feel wronged and disappointed, but Xiao Yong's attitude was still stubborn. He had to find a way to resolve this conflict and make the two children reconcile.
"Xiaoyong, think about it again. Was it really Jie Di who kicked the ball away?" He Yuliang tried to dig out the truth from Xiaoyong's mouth.
Xiaoyong hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and his eyes flickered. Finally, he told the truth: "Actually, I broke the ball. But...but I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid my mother will scold me."
When Jie Di heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but soon turned into understanding. She walked over to Xiao Yong and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Xiao Yong, it doesn't matter, just admit your mistake."
Xiaoyong raised his head and looked at Jie Di, his eyes full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Jie Di, I really shouldn't have blamed you just now."
Jie Di smiled slightly and shook her head: "It doesn't matter, we are still friends."
He Yuliang felt relieved when he saw this scene. He knew that although the children would quarrel over trivial matters, as long as they could face their mistakes bravely and apologize bravely, their friendship would remain. Everything seemed to have returned to the original harmony, and the atmosphere in the courtyard became relaxed and happy.
However, at this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the door. It was Bang Geng who had just gone out with me. There was a hint of hesitation and loss on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
"Banggeng, what's wrong with you?" He Yuliang walked up and asked with concern.
Banggeng raised his head and looked at He Yuliang. He opened his lips slightly but then stopped. He shook his head, as if he didn't know what to say.
Jie Di saw Bang Geng's expression and ran over to ask, "Bang Geng, what happened? Why do you look so upset?"
Bang Geng was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I...I decided to leave here."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the courtyard seemed to freeze. Everyone stood there in a daze, looking at Banggeng in disbelief.
"Leave? Why?" He Yuliang couldn't help but ask.
Bang Geng sighed, his expression heavy: "Because I feel I shouldn't stay here. I feel sorry for everyone."
Jie Di frowned and walked to Bang Geng's side: "What are you talking about? You are our good friend, why do you want to leave?"
Bang Geng looked at Jie Di, his eyes full of contradictions and helplessness: "I don't want to cause trouble to everyone anymore. I'm always making trouble and making everyone unhappy."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu came over and patted Banggeng on the shoulder: "Child, you are wrong. You are one of us. No matter what happens, we will not abandon you."
Mother Liu also came over and said softly, "Yes, Banggeng, you are our friend. We have conflicts and we can resolve them, but we can't give up our friendship because of them."
Other people in the courtyard also expressed their kindness and care for Banggeng. Banggeng felt their sincerity, and the doubts and confusion in his heart gradually dissipated.
He Yuliang walked to Banggeng and held his hand: "Banggeng, we are a family. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together. Don't escape. You will find that Siheyuan is your warmest home."
Banggeng was moved to tears after hearing what He Yuliang said. He knew how lucky he was to have such a group of friends who cared and loved him. He decided that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would face them bravely because he knew that they would never leave him.
Life in the courtyard seemed to have returned to peace, but He Yuliang felt a little uneasy. Although life was comfortable, the courtyard seemed a little deserted since Banggeng left. They used to eat, chat and play together, but now they seemed a little lonely.
On an ordinary morning, when He Yuliang woke up, he found the yard unusually quiet. When he got up, the usual breakfast table was empty. Usually at this time, the aunts of the Liu family would have been busy preparing breakfast, and Aunt Wang's snack stand would have been open long ago.
He walked out of the room quickly, wanting to know what happened. But when he came to the yard, he found that all the Liu family aunts were gone, even Liu's mother was gone. The yard was empty, with only a breeze blowing, blowing the dead leaves in the yard.
He Yuliang looked around with some worry in his heart, and remembered that Jie Di mentioned a few days ago that there were some problems in her family. He guessed that maybe something happened in the Liu family, leading to the current situation.
He decided to go to Jie Di's house, walked out of the courtyard, and set out on the road to Jie Di's house. Along the way, he saw familiar streets, but felt a strange loneliness in his heart.
