Su Xuanhe heard his mother-in-law's voice rising up, and smelled the danger. He darted to the side and put the broom in front as a cover: "Mom, it's snowing in June! If I skip class, how can I be safe? When you come back soon, are you still cleaning the yard?"
Su Qingluan also dumbfounded and pulled Yang's arm: "Mom, please don't be angry. What my brother said makes sense. Don't get so angry on this hot day."
But it turns out that now that the weather is getting hotter, there are children from farm families like Su Xuanhe in the school, but not everyone needs to work with their families.
Especially some weak scholars who "concentrate on reading the books of sages" naturally cannot keep up with the physical fitness of Su Xuanhe, who is a monkey and spends his time in trees and rivers.
When encountering this hot summer weather, Master Zhou, who was teaching in the school, although he was knowledgeable, was not a wealthy person. Being able to let them open the window for ventilation is already a "relief" from the heat. At most, they can prepare mung bean soup.
The only thing left is "the mind is calm and naturally cool".
But some people with weaker bodies naturally can't bear it. It's hotter at noon and the room feels stuffy, so some people suffer from heatstroke.
Su Qingluan asked curiously: "Didn't you also suffer from heat stroke last year? It seems that they were not disbanded to let you go home early?"
"This time it was more scary," Su Xuanhe said with surprise. "Suddenly he was frothing at the mouth and twitching all over. He said he had heat stroke, but it didn't feel like it. It felt more like he was possessed by an evil spirit."
Su Qingluan murmured in her heart: Could this be epilepsy?
But this incident was just an interlude. After explaining it clearly, Yang gave up her plan of rewarding her son with a meal of "bamboo stew".
But having said that, Su Qingluan glanced at Su Xuanhe, who was getting taller and taller, and felt that according to the boy's growth rate, in another two or three years, even if his brother really makes a mistake, her mother-in-law may not be able to catch up with him by then. .
"Auntie, I'll cook dinner with you." Su Qingluan said and was about to go to the kitchen with Yang, but Yang pressed her on her shoulder.
"Didn't you say your stomach feels uncomfortable? It's better to go back to your room and rest today!"
"But……"
"It's just a dinner. Auntie can still do it. If it doesn't work, your brother can help." This is true. Su Xuanhe, who is running towards the age of ten, has become more sensible recently, although he still gets into trouble occasionally. , but I will help more with household chores.
Although he was still a little reluctant to let him go to school, after all, there was no need to ask and urge him. What's more, although I don't usually say it, I actually care about every family member - although the way of caring is sometimes a bit weird. For example, right now, after hearing Su Qingluan say that he felt uncomfortable, he immediately came over and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Do you want to drink some hot water?"
...Brother, I can't accept what you said... Thinking of the popular internet meme about "drinking hot water" from her previous life, and looking at her brother's very sincere expression, Su Qingluan felt speechless and choked.
"...Okay, if grandma boils water, you can brew some dried ginger slices and red dates for me..." Don't they say that dried ginger and red dates can keep away the cold? If she really has a cold stomach, this cup of ginger-date tea should be useful, right?
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan only felt that the downward and swollen feeling became more and more obvious. This feeling was really uncomfortable, so she waved her hands casually, turned around and entered her room, wanting to lie down for a while, or lie down and rub her belly. See if it can relieve this uncomfortable feeling.
As a result, before she could lie down completely, she felt a warm current in her secret place, which made her suddenly realize "that's it" - her menstrual period was coming!
At this time, Su Qingluan realized belatedly that even according to the age calculation method in her previous life, she should be almost fourteen years old - that is to say, in this world, Su Qingluan's birthday this year is At that time, he should be fifteen years old and adult.
Anyway, it’s time to grow.
In fact, it's no wonder that Su Qingluan never thought about this problem - in his previous life, due to the increasingly serious condition and the side effects of various treatments, the monthly menstrual period had become "a rare occurrence", and in the end it was almost there is none left.
And counting the more than two years since time travel, she hasn't dealt with her "old friend" menstrual period for several years.
This thing is like a relative. If they don't move around for a long time, they will become more and more alienated, so Su Qingluan didn't think about this aspect at all.
Fortunately, she was not completely unprepared.
Of course, this was not because Su Qingluan had predicted something, but because there was Liu Yunniang who was nearly two years older than her.
About a year ago, a little later than now, when the weather was at its hottest, Su Qingluan found that Liu Yunniang, who had been sweating a little and was about to go for a swim in Huaxi Village, had not been there for a few days at that time. She was hesitant to swim or dip into cold water - it was obvious that she was already sweating from the heat and her face was red.
Su Qingluan couldn't help but notice that his friend was so abnormal, so he followed him and asked questions for a long time.
At first, Liu Yunniang was hesitant and hesitant, but this gave Su Qingluan many terrible associations. He even held her hand solemnly, saying that no matter what difficult things happened, she would always be Liu Yunniang's backing. .
At this time, Liu Yunniang realized that Su Qingluan had already thought about all the ends of the world, so she whispered the whole story in a dumbfounded voice - she had been menstruating those days, so she had to be careful not to touch cold water. Don't even think about bathing in river water.
While Su Qingluan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she fiddled with something that would definitely make Liu Yunniang find it difficult to talk about, but it was very urgent - menstrual supplies.
Su Qingluan had long heard how terrible menstruation-related products in ancient times were, but because she had never had menstruation, she felt that this matter was far away from her.
In addition, there are many things that need to be adapted to business and time travel itself, so she is always too busy to stop and think about getting some decent related sanitary products.
It wasn't until Liu Yunniang's menstrual period that she felt a greater sense of urgency.
In order to help her friends solve their problems, and to prepare for a rainy day for herself and her sister, even Yang, whom she had never considered - after all, Yang would not talk to her daughter about these things - Su Qingluan spent a long time at that time thinking about how to use the limited money. Conditions to improve the experience of using menstrual products.
In the end, through repeated trials, Su Qingluan made a similar "menstrual belt" that can only replace the inner lining and needs to be washed separately based on the "relief pants" she knew in her previous life to assist African refugee girls.
Because this menstrual belt uses cotton and is sterilized using high-temperature steam sterilization, the cost can be imagined.
This is destined to be something that cannot be promoted - but in this era when "menstrual shame" is very popular, Su Qingluan is worried about whether the product can be promoted, secondly, if he does not get caught as someone who has misbehaved. Not bad.
So for the sake of her own safety and that of Zhou Zaoren, she didn't plan to take the risk for the time being.
What's more, before thinking of ways to reduce production costs, this thing is very expensive and can only be used by a few people.
When she gave this to Liu Yunniang, Liu Yunniang liked it very much and had a good experience using it. As for her mother, Su Qingluan, she never found a suitable opportunity to speak.
...Perhaps her menstrual period is a good opportunity this time?
