My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 120 They ate the breakfast shop into bankruptcy.

Lu Youtang nodded repeatedly and took out a reading monitor from her small backpack.

Seeing this, Madam Xu was about to stop him, but Lu Yang stopped her.

Lu Yang: Where are you going?

Madam Xu frowned. "That was something given to us by our ancestors. What if Yuan'er asks for it back, and our daughter gives it to her?"

Back in the capital, my daughter had many playmates. They would take anything they wanted, including her hairpins, purses, and even gold locks.

Let's not talk about the past or the present, but this is something we can't give away now, lest we anger our ancestors.

Lu Yang felt that his wife was overthinking things. "Tang'er just suddenly got a playmate and wants to share any good things she has. This isn't the capital. Yuan'er seems sensible and doesn't seem like the type to ask for things. It's alright."

Mrs. Xu kept a close eye on her daughter, fearing that her daughter might actually give the things away.

Lu Youtang demonstrated to Yuan'er how to use the device and even took the initiative to teach her to read.

Gu Xingzhao downloaded different ebooks to the two readers; Lu Youtang's ebook had many picture books, which were perfect for her age.

Lu Youtang pulled Yuan'er along and pleaded for a while, "Just come and study with us. My grandfather said that girls should study more so that they can understand reason."

"Just keep me company. Sister Shunyu doesn't talk much usually, and I'm so bored."

Yuan'er was momentarily surprised by what Lu Youtang took out, after all, she had never seen such a thing before. It had pictures and words, and the scene changed when you clicked on it.

However, she quickly became indifferent and agreed to Lu Youtang's request to study and practice calligraphy with her.

Lu Youtang was immediately delighted and stuffed the e-reader into Yuan'er's hand, "You can borrow this to play with first. You can ask me if you see any words you don't recognize!"

Yuan'er took the reader, but only flipped through a few pages before handing it back to Lu Youtang, clearly showing no interest in such a thing.

Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and resolved to correct her daughter's habit of giving things away casually.

Don't let the day come when you give your husband away.

After delivering steamed buns and clothes to the Lu family, Gu Xingzhao took two portions of steamed buns to the next door and saw Aunt Wang busy making soup.

"Auntie, have you had breakfast yet? I have some steamed buns here."

Aunt Wang was hungry, so she happily took the food and stuffed it into her mouth, thinking to herself, "Old Li's breakfast is really good. I love his steamed buns. I was just thinking of buying some, but I didn't expect him to be packing up and closing the shop. Sigh."

Gu Xingzhao smiled, "It would be better to go earlier tomorrow. If you're busy, Auntie, I'll go buy it for you tomorrow morning."

Aunt Wang waved her hands repeatedly, "You won't be able to buy any tomorrow either."

Gu Xingzhao looked bewildered: "?"

Aunt Wang looked regretful. "Just now I saw Old Li have his people move all the things out of the shop. There's even a 'For Rent' sign on the door. He said he's going to enjoy his retirement and is closing down."

It's a real loss for the surrounding alleys if Old Li doesn't open his breakfast stall, since his breakfast is so fragrant and delicious.

Aunt Wang never spreads rumors, so if she said that, she must be sure. Maybe Uncle Li is even lying at home right now.

Gu Xingzhao remained silent: "." He had just told me to come back tomorrow, and that he had promised to steam it for me.

fraud.

At that moment, Uncle Li, who was happily lying at home watching TV, sneezed several times in a row, thinking about going to the park tomorrow, as it had been a long time since he had played chess with those old fogies.

He could almost guess how the girl would react after she found out he was closing the shop.

I really can't blame myself for lying to her. If she had eaten less, I wouldn't have had to close the shop!
These days, girls really can eat a lot. He had just heard that Old Han's daughter had become a food vlogger, eating online for hours on end. She really can eat a lot. That evening, Gu Xingzhao delivered the food she had ordered to Gu Dian. She was still thinking about Old Li's breakfast stall. She had passed by it in the afternoon and saw that it was indeed advertised as a "Prime Location for Rent" stall.

She sighed. Old Li was someone who wanted a peaceful life, and she wondered if she had asked for too much, which had scared him away.

Lu Xingyan, who happened to be passing by, heard his ancestor sighing. He paused slightly, wondering what was wrong with his ancestor tonight.
Hearing the sigh, Lu Qing felt a chill run down his spine. "Is the ancestor troubled?"

Thinking that he wouldn't be able to eat breakfast from Old Li's breakfast stall anymore, Gu Xingzhao sighed again, "It's not a big deal. Did you eat the steamed buns during the day?"

Lu Qing replied, "I ate it, it was delicious."

The buns had soft skin and lots of filling, with broth inside. One bite and they were incredibly tender, better than any of the big buns he had ever eaten before.

Seeing Lu Qing's expression, Gu Xingzhao knew that he also liked that kind of food, and said regretfully, "It's a pity we won't be able to eat it anymore."

Lu Qing was immediately confused. "Why?"

Lu Xingyan, who had been eavesdropping nearby, was also curious. Despite his discomfort at being in contact with his ancestor, he sat down to the side.

Gu Xingzhao was about to voice his guess, but fearing the old man might overthink and feel guilty, he ultimately didn't reveal the real reason, saying, "The person who makes steamed buns has gone traveling the world."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing also felt regret.

Lu Xingyan found it strange, why did he go traveling all over the world?

Gu Xingzhao looked into the distance and saw that there were still two tables set up, but now there was Yuan'er, who was making do with Lu Youtang at one of the tables and sitting together.

Lu Youtang had heels, but Yuan'er was kneeling on the ground.

"So, does that little girl also need to go to school and learn to read?"

Lu Qing also glanced at it, "You Tang is very happy to have a companion. During the day, she pulled someone to accompany her to study, and I agreed."

For a young lady, it's always good to be able to read and write; only through reading can one understand principles.

Gu Xingzhao nodded, "Then I should prepare a copy for this young lady as well."

We can't let someone kneel like that all the time; it'll hurt their legs in the long run. We don't want to turn a perfectly good young girl into someone with bowlegs.

Lu Qing: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. On behalf of this young lady, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Gu Xingzhao: "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it."

Meanwhile, Lu Youtang was practicing calligraphy, but she would occasionally chat with Yuan'er, her little mouth never stopping.

Liu Xiangbai's eyes darkened, and he walked to Lu Youtang's desk. "Lu Youtang, how can you practice calligraphy if your mind is not at peace? If you say another word, I'll go and find Old Master Lu to punish you."

Having been warned, Lu Youtang stuck out her tongue at Liu Xiangbai and stopped talking, focusing on practicing her calligraphy.

Mischievous little girls are the most unruly, Liu Xiangbai sighed inwardly, and thought of his daughter far away in the capital, wondering how she was doing. Thinking of this, he immediately decided to wear the blindfold tonight.
Shunyu looked at Lu Youtang with a hint of envy. She dared not act coquettishly in front of Grand Secretary Lu, and she dared not be willful in front of Liu Xiangbai.

Just as she was looking at Lu Youtang, she saw the orphan girl who had been taken in by Old Master Lu looking at her. Their eyes met, and the orphan girl did not look away.

Shunyu nodded slightly to Yuan'er as a greeting, then looked away.

Yuan'er subconsciously grabbed her clothes, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, and immediately got up to go to Shunyu's table, but was tightly held by Lu Youtang's free hand!
"Reading is boring, but don't go! Mr. Liu is very fierce!"

The punctual Second Watch is here!
Since you were on time, how about giving me some votes? Hehehe~
Also, I saw some comments where some people didn't like the Lu family taking in people, so let me explain: Yuan'er isn't a bad person, you'll see later. The Lu family needs to become powerful, so they need to gather forces from all sides; it's not just about them arriving at the place of exile and then... well, you know.
