Siheyuan: Tathagata's Palm suppresses the entire courtyard!

In the next few days, Xu Mingjie began to ask his neighbors about the apples. He visited Xu Damao, Aunt Li, and even Uncle Er, but none of them said they had seen his apples.

"How could this happen? I clearly remember buying them." Xu Mingjie gradually felt uneasy and confused. He didn't know why this little thing bothered him so much. It was just a few apples, but it made him feel extremely upset.

At this time, Xu Mingjie unexpectedly met a child in the community named Xiaowei. Xiaowei was lively and cute, always liked to run around, bringing a lot of joy to the neighbors. Xu Mingjie suddenly thought that maybe he could ask Xiaowei.

"Hey, Xiaowei, have you seen my apple?" Xu Mingjie squatted down and tried to look the child at eye level.

Xiaowei tilted his head, with a mischievous light in his eyes. "I don't know where your apple is, but I know I have a red apple!" Xiaowei stretched out his little hand, pointed to his pocket, and smiled innocently.

"You have apples? Are they mine?" Xu Mingjie was slightly stunned and thought to himself, could it be that Xiaowei really took his apples away?

"My mother gave it to me, I can share it with you!" Xiaowei's eyes were sparkling and he looked very cute.

Xu Mingjie was stunned for a moment, and a little touched. "No, Xiaowei, thank you. I just want to get my apple back." He knew that the child's innocence made him realize that he seemed to be too serious when he was fussing over some trivial matters.

"I understand. I'll help you find it!" Xiao Wei patted his chest, looking very confident. "I'll ask my friends!"

Watching Xiaowei run off to find other friends, Xu Mingjie gradually relaxed. He realized that perhaps he had over-complicated this little thing. There are too many things in life that are worth cherishing, and even if it's just a few apples, you shouldn't let yourself get into trouble.

In the following days, Xu Mingjie stopped dwelling on the disappearance of Apple. He decided to turn his attention to other aspects of life and continue to work hard to improve himself. Reading, studying, and communicating with neighbors, he found that there were many beautiful things in life waiting for him to discover.

However, although he gradually felt relieved, the Apple incident still left a small thought in his mind. Occasionally, he would recall the conversation with Xiaowei and feel an inexplicable warmth in his heart. The little things in life sometimes bring unexpected thoughts.

"Maybe there's no need to care too much in life." He thought silently in his heart, determined to let go of his obsession and embrace a broader life.

On a sunny morning, Xu Mingjie went to the yard to exercise as usual and found other neighbors chatting and drinking tea together. The atmosphere was very warm. Seeing this scene, Xu Mingjie felt warm in his heart. He realized that real life should be shared with others, not just obsessed with some trivial things.

"Hello, everyone. Is there anything interesting today?" he asked casually, smiling and blending into the conversation of his neighbors. Xu Mingjie felt a surge of joy, as if the lost apple was no longer important, and the joy of life was the most worth cherishing.

Neighbors shared their interesting stories, laughter continued, and warm sunshine shone in every corner of the courtyard. Xu Mingjie sat in the middle, listening to everyone's sharing, and felt a long-lost peace in his heart. He knew that his life was quietly changing. Although he had experienced the loss of Apple, he gained more important friendship and warmth.

In this process, Xu Mingjie gradually understood that the meaning of life is not just about how much material things you have, but about communicating and sharing with others. Although his apple is gone, the richness and beauty of life are fully displayed at this moment.

"Maybe I can try to buy some more apples myself and share them with everyone." A new idea came to his mind, and he decided not to worry about trivial matters, but to take the initiative to create good times to share with his neighbors.

On a sunny morning, as Xu Mingjie walked towards the market, an idea flashed through his mind. He remembered the "banggeng" that his neighbors often mentioned. It was a popular snack with a crunchy texture and unique taste that made people unable to stop eating. Although he had not paid much attention to this snack before, in his communication with his neighbors, he felt everyone's love and even dependence on this snack.

"Maybe I can go find Bang Geng and share it with them." He thought to himself, feeling that this was not only to make up for the lost apples, but also to add some fun to life.

Walking into the market, Xu Mingjie's eyes were quickly attracted by a small stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a simple white shirt, busy packing delicious sticks for customers. His eyes revealed a kind of concentration and enthusiasm, and it was obvious that he was very proud of this craft.

"Excuse me, what are the sticks here made of?" Xu Mingjie walked forward and tried to chat with the stall owner.

"This is a recipe I developed myself. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You'll definitely fall in love with it after one bite." The stall owner answered with a smile, his face full of confidence.

Xu Mingjie was attracted by the enthusiastic stall owner and felt a surge of anticipation in his heart. He imagined himself and his neighbors sitting together and sharing the delicious sticks, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. "I want one portion, can you give me a little more?" He begged, thinking that since he was going to share, he should prepare something more abundant.

The stall owner nodded readily, quickly packed a portion for him, and then handed it to Xu Mingjie. "Is this your first time here? Welcome to come often, I promise you will be satisfied with the food."

"Thank you, I will definitely come again." Xu Mingjie took the bag, looking forward to the upcoming party.

On the way back, Xu Mingjie was getting more and more excited. As he walked, he secretly imagined sharing the bang gen with his neighbors. Thinking of those familiar faces and their laughter, his heart was filled with warmth. He knew that this was not just a meal, but a bond that connected them emotionally.

Walking into the courtyard, Xu Mingjie saw Xu Damao and Lin Xiaoyu sitting in the yard, chatting. Seeing the bag in his hand, Xu Damao's eyes immediately lit up. "What delicious food did you buy?"

"Great!" Xu Mingjie responded excitedly, feeling proud. "I want to share it with everyone."

"Great, I was just about to eat." Lin Xiaoyu stood up immediately after hearing this, her eyes full of anticipation. "We can taste it together and share our respective flavors."
