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

Chapter 119 I Want a Little Sister
No one would pay much attention to a ten-year-old girl.

After listening to her father's words, Lu Zhou went to talk to Du Hangwu, since bringing someone along was no small matter, even if it was just a young girl.

Du Hangwu didn't make things difficult. The exile team was often accompanied by family members, and this time there was just an extra little girl who couldn't even kill a chicken.

"It's nothing major, but we definitely can't provide the food."

The family members who were traveling with her were all taking care of their own meals, so this young girl should be the same.

Lu Zhou bowed and thanked him, "We understand the rules, thank you."

Du Hangwu: You're welcome.

Lu Zhou suddenly remembered what happened last night. He wondered what Du Hangwu had done to the two children afterward. Although he was curious, he didn't ask.

Because he had been dreaming, Gu Xingzhao woke up exceptionally early and went downstairs to the breakfast shop for the first time in a long time.

She was still wearing slippers and pajamas with only a jacket over them, and she was yawning. "Uncle Li, forty servings of xiaolongbao, please."

Uncle Li, who was about to pack up his stall as soon as he saw Gu Xingzhao, thought, "This girl is a reincarnation of a starving ghost."

He reluctantly started steaming the xiaolongbao and began to consider closing the shop. He really couldn't serve this little princess. She always wanted so many. At first, twenty or so servings were fine, but now it had doubled!

I opened my own breakfast shop to pass the time in my retirement and chat with my neighbors, not to work myself to the bone.

Gu Xingzhao suddenly remembered that Aunt Wang had told him a couple of days ago that Uncle Li, who ran a breakfast shop, wanted to transfer ownership of the breakfast shop on the first floor.

She asked tentatively, "Uncle Li, you're not going to pack up and run away just because I asked for too much, are you?"

Uncle Li chuckled twice, "How could that be! It's a blessing for young people to be able to eat. Even if you wanted a hundred portions, let alone forty, Uncle would definitely steam them for you!"

Hearing this, Gu Xingzhao felt a warmth in her heart. The people in the town were so kind-hearted. But she also felt a little embarrassed, so when she paid the bill, she gave them an extra fifty yuan.

Uncle Li laughed and said, "Look at you, child, you're being too polite with your uncle."

Gu Xingzhao: "I'm really sorry to have troubled you so much these past few days. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Uncle Li accepted the money with a smile, thinking to himself, "This girl is quite good at handling things. She should be more restrained in the future. As long as she doesn't have such a big appetite, or comes less often, it's fine for my shop to stay open like this."

We're all neighbors, it's only right that we help each other out.

Gu Xingzhao, carrying two large bags of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), smiled as brightly as the warm March sun. "Thank you, Uncle Li. I'll come again tomorrow. You can start steaming them first, and I'll just take whatever I have then."

Uncle Li smiled kindly and said, "Okay, come again tomorrow!"

Seeing Gu Xingzhao walk away, he immediately turned off the stove, packed up his things as quickly as possible, and even called people to help him move them. He also moved all the freezers in the shop that were used to freeze breakfast items, and put up a sign that read "Shop for Rent" on the door.

Aunt Wang was passing by on her way to buy something when she saw this scene and asked in surprise, "Old Li, why did you move all your tools away? Are you not running your breakfast stall anymore?"

Uncle Li chuckled dryly, "I'm just too old to keep up with the work. It's better to go back and enjoy my retirement."

What the hell are you doing? If you don't close the door soon, that little girl might ask for a hundred servings tomorrow!

Even though I just opened a shop to pass the time, I always felt like I was working for this little girl.

I'm just selling breakfast, but she's gone and started taking pre-orders. I have to run away as fast as I can!
Gu Xingzhao carried two large bags of small cages and transferred them into the bamboo basket.

Just as she was about to tell Lu Qing, she saw a young girl with an unfamiliar face beside him. She looked even younger than Lu Youtang. How come there was a young girl after only one night? Where did she come from?
"Lu Qing, where did this little girl come from?" Lu Qing had been thinking of finding an opportunity to tell his ancestor about this, but he didn't expect his ancestor to ask him about it. He immediately told her about what happened last night.

“My ancestors, please don’t be angry. Last night, there was a disturbance caused by refugees. This child knelt down in front of me for his seriously ill mother. I originally just wanted to give him some food and that was it. But then the mother died, and now the child has no one to care for him. Some uncles and elders are even thinking of selling him for money. I felt sorry for him, so I took him in.”

Lu Qing explained, repeating himself several times, fearing that he might have missed something, just in case that keeping the person behind would displease his ancestors.

After learning about her, Gu Xingzhao looked at the girl named Yuan'er. She seemed like an ordinary girl, but she seemed to be a little quiet, perhaps because her mother had just passed away and she was in a bad mood.

At this age, one should be as lively and active as Lu Youtang.

"It's just another mouth to feed. Since you've kept them here, take good care of them. I'll bring some clothes later; it's freezing cold, so don't catch a cold."

"There are some buns left in the bamboo basket. Eat them when you are hungry, but don't leave them until night and they will go bad."

Hearing no displeasure in his ancestor's tone, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, ancestor."

Gu Xingzhao quickly brought out a set of clothes that were originally intended for Lu Youtang. The two were about the same age and had similar builds, so the clothes should fit perfectly.

Yuan'er seemed a little surprised to receive the new clothes and thanked them repeatedly.

Lu Youtang, who was a year older, finally got to experience what it was like to be an older sister. She clung to Yuan'er, wanting to help her get dressed. Yuan'er naturally declined, but she couldn't resist Lu Youtang's enthusiasm.

Looking at her daughter's mature demeanor, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh. Just a moment ago, she was a child who would cling to her older brother to go to the market, but now she was able to take care of her younger sister who was even younger than herself.

Lu Yang watched for a while, "I didn't expect our Tang'er to be so good at taking care of people."

Ms. Xu: "They're all like this when they grow up."

Lu Yang stroked his chin and pondered, "Maybe he wants a little sister."

Xu: "."

Lu Yang approached Madam Xu with a grin and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Madam, you see how much Tang'er likes that Yuan'er, why don't we have another baby for our daughter, a little sister or a little brother?"

If it weren't for the crowd, Ms. Xu would have even wanted to take off her shoe and throw it at her husband's face.

She glared at her husband and scolded, "If you're going to talk about our daughter, talk about her properly. Why bring up other things? You're such a bad father!"

Lu Yang wasn't intimidated by her and still wore a cheeky grin.

Wearing her new clothes, Yuan'er was bothered by Lu Youtang's chattering beside her, and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was a little displeased.

At this moment, Lu Youtang also realized that this suddenly arrived younger sister didn't seem to like listening to her. Remembering what her father had said earlier, that her sister had just lost her birth mother and must be heartbroken at the moment, she mustered up her courage again and reached out to take Yuan'er's hand.

"Yuan'er, why don't you study and practice calligraphy with us tonight? My grandfather is very skilled, and Mr. Liu can also teach you!"

Yuan'er politely declined, "No, I can't read or write, and I wouldn't be able to study. I would only be a burden to you."

Lu Youtang: "No, Sister Shunyu knows more than I do. I'm still learning!"

Yuan'er's eyes flickered slightly, "Sister Shunyu?"
