The little boy in front of him is the youngest grandson of the Orion family who went to Qinling with Da Niu but accidentally died there.

At that time, I heard the old woman say that she was going to move to the city, but I didn't expect to meet him here so soon, I don't know if this is a kind of fate.

The little boy on the opposite side also recognized Xiao Han and Xue Pan at this time, first smiled shyly at the two of them, and then hurriedly ran to the small shop and shouted, "Grandma, grandma!" Who's coming? ”

"Who?" The old woman in the small shop answered, hurriedly went out to take a look, and when she saw that it was Xiao Han and Xue Pan, she was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Benefactor!" How did you guys get here? Come in! ”

Xiao Han, who was called a benefactor, blushed, and didn't dare to call himself a benefactor, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Madam is polite, just call me Xiao Han!" We came to the city today, and we passed by accident. ”

"What a coincidence!" The old woman looked at Xiao Han with a smile, and then dragged the little boy: "Go in and pack up the stool!" Please come in and sit down! ”

The little boy answered, and hurriedly ran into the store, Xiao Han didn't want to disturb, because he always felt indebted to the pair of grandchildren in his heart, but the people were warmly welcomed, and it was not easy to refute the kindness of others, so he could only thank him and follow the woman into this small shop.

The woman's shop was a cloth shop, and it had just opened, with a simple decoration, a counter, a few stools, and other than that, the fabrics on both sides, most of which were coarse cloth of ordinary colors, no expensive brocade, and even a little bit of silk.

Sitting on the stool that the little boy cleaned clean, Xiao Han and Xue Pan browsed the furnishings in the store in general, as for the stunned man who shouted tired early, he sat on the bench by the door, and did not forget to compare a middle finger with a few people not far away, the bodyguard is amazing? Bodyguards don't have to help carry things?

Just as he was looking at the scene, the old woman brought out a pot of water from the back hall, and the little boy hurriedly threw down the rag to help, giving Xiao Han and each of them a glass of water.

"Little brother, thank you!" Looking at the obedient little boy, Xue Pan smiled and took the water cup and thanked him softly, but the little boy was a little shy, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't speak, and quickly ran to the side.

Holding the water cup and smiling, Xue Pan glanced at Xiao Han, who lowered his head to drink water, and felt a little embarrassed to sit like this, so he asked the old woman casually: "Auntie, did you open this shop?" ”

The old woman stood aside and nodded with a smile and replied, "Yes, after we moved to the city, we thought that although you two nobles gave us a lot of money, we would eat nothing, so I bought this small shop, not asking for much money, as long as I could bring up this child." ”

"That's it." Xue Pan nodded when he heard this, stood up and stretched out his hand to slowly stroke the cloth roll leaning against the wall, and continued to ask: "These fabrics are very densely woven, did you collect them, auntie?" ”

"Some are, and some are self-spun." The old woman looked at Xue Pan and replied with a smile.

"Auntie, do you still spin cloth?" Hearing this, Xiao Han, who had been silent, asked in surprise! Because just now, he suddenly felt that he remembered something, but when he recalled it carefully, he didn't catch anything.

"Yes." The old woman smiled and nodded, "But I couldn't afford to buy a loom before, so I had to spin and sell it at home." It was only here that I bought a loom, and I knitted a little bit when I was free. ”

Xiao Han didn't continue to ask, his mind was a little messy, and the feeling of forgetting things was getting stronger and stronger, but the harder he thought about it, the more he couldn't remember, and his head hurt for a while.

Xue Pan didn't pay attention to Xiao Han's strange appearance, turned his head to look around, and saw the little boy squatting next to the stunned man, poking the fox skin on his neck with his fingers.

The little boy noticed that someone was looking at him, and quickly withdrew his hand, but a pair of dark eyes were still glancing at him from time to time.

Xue Pan smiled knowingly, thinking that the old woman had said that she wanted to talk about the things he sent to study, so he asked the old woman: "Is the eldest mother's grandson studying now?" ”

Hearing Xue Pan ask about this, the old woman's face darkened significantly, and she said in a somewhat bitter tone: "Not yet..."

"Oh? What's wrong? Xue Pan asked curiously.

The old woman sighed and said, "There is no way, there are too few gentlemen to teach now, and it is difficult to find them!" Now seeing that the child is playing at home like this every day, I am also anxious. ”

What the old woman said was true, the Sui Dynasty opened the imperial examination system before, giving the poor children of the world a road to heaven.

But there are still few people who have the ability to read, and now, those who can read and write will either bury themselves in hard study and gain fame, or join a big family!

It's not that there is no one who is willing to teach in the market, it's really pitiful! So for a while, even if she took the money, she couldn't find anyone to teach.

"Why don't Xiao Han and I find someone to help take a look? Can you match him up and find him a master? Xue Pan thought deeply about the hardships of studying, thought about it, and asked the old woman tentatively.

The old woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was about to speak, but a person jumped up in front of her!

"Pulling the strings? Spinning? Cotton? ”

Naturally, it was Xiao Han who jumped up suddenly!

He ignored Xue Pan and the old woman's surprised eyes, and at this time he circled around the stool like a grinding donkey! Because just now, he finally remembered what he wanted to do!

Spinning! So much cotton is not spun, just to make quilts? Cover it? I should have remembered this a long time ago!

Rubbing his hands, Xiao Han stood still, looking at the old woman eagerly: "Auntie! What you spin is still there? Can you help me spin something into thread! ”

The old woman was taken aback by Xiao Han's strange behavior, and then quickly nodded: "It's still here, if you have any orders, just say it directly, don't be so polite!" ”

"Good! Without further ado, let's see if we can do it now! ”

Xiao Han's mind is on cotton at this time, and with cotton thread, there is cotton cloth! With cotton, doesn't cotton have countless uses?

Didn't bring cotton with you when you went out today? That's not a problem! Get the stunned man over, and pick up his clothes without saying a word!

Among these people, the stunned person is the most afraid of the cold, and there is cotton in the jacket on his body, although it is not much, but it should be enough to do just one experiment!

The jacket made of fine fabric was torn open with force, revealing the white cotton inside. Xiao Han didn't blink his eyes, but he was stunned and sad like a dead old lady! It wasn't until Xiao Han said that he would give him back two pieces that he became happy and helped Xiao Han take out all the cotton in the mezzanine.

Holding the cotton to the back of the store, it was much wider than the front, and the old woman had already moved the spinning machine out at this time, first took the cotton in Xiao Han's hand and looked at it, and then tried a few times, and then found a clue.

Just like spinning twine, I kneaded the cotton into small strips, then took a head from it, hung it on the round wheel of the machine and shook it slowly, and a white thread slowly wound around the round wheel.
