Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 3836

For such a private topic, even if her daughter held her hand and asked, Mrs. Sun would feel a little embarrassed.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." She said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

After Mrs. Sun left, Yang Ruoqing was tidying up her room, and she was a little dazed when she saw something that she had pressed under the box.

In ancient times, menstruation was a taboo topic for women.

Not only most men, but even women themselves think that women are the most filthy during those days of each month.

If a man gets involved, he will be unlucky.

So in a big family, a man has three wives and four concubines, and when a certain wife and concubine has menstruation, it is absolutely forbidden to have intercourse.

And this man is in need, so he will go to the houses of other concubines to spend the night and be happy.

Going up to the palace, I heard that when the eunuchs around the emperor arranged for the concubines to sleep, they would register the date of each concubine's menstrual affairs in advance, and then make arrangements.

If a concubine's menstrual period is disturbed, brought forward, or delayed, she must report it in time.

In case the emperor came to invite her to sleep with him, but she let the emperor down.

Not only do men think women's menstrual blood is filthy, but even women themselves feel that their own menstrual blood is filthy.

This problem is a bit sad.

Closer to home, it is precisely because this normal physiological phenomenon makes women feel inferior, so what to use to effectively absorb menstrual blood during menstruation has naturally become a sensitive and taboo topic.

Women can wash by the pond at the entrance of the village, talking about giving birth,

You can also work in the fields, pick tea leaves on the mountain, and joke with the men in the same village.

But women seldom sit together and communicate with each other about menstrual periods.

Because of the lack of communication and reference, women have their own various methods, and many jokes have been made because of this.

The mother of the family will teach the young daughter who has just grown up, and the sister-in-law will pass on her own methods to the sister-in-law, but it is just a dull exchange of words,
So, when Yang Ruoqing was an adult, when she first returned to menstruation,
Mrs. Sun was very happy because her daughter had finally grown up.

But at the same time, Mrs. Sun handed something to Yang Ruoqing very cautiously, and she briefly said how to use it, and she left the room embarrassingly.

What Sun gave to Yang Ruoqing was the cloth bag at the bottom of the box that was about as long as a rolling pin and as wide as a palm.

The inside of the cloth bag was bulging and filled with plant ashes, and the only opening of the cloth bag was sewn tightly with needles and threads.

This is a brand new menstrual bag made by Mrs. Sun for Yang Ruoqing. It is a gift from a mother to a woman who has just grown up.

But my daughter never used it.

At this moment, Yang Ruoqing took out this thing and looked at it carefully in front of her eyes. She saw many black things coming out of the pores of the cotton cloth, like blackheads on her nose.

She knew it was the plant ash inside.

Presumably mother and aunt are using this, right?

Maybe this is the method passed down by Ga Po?

Perhaps many aunts and aunts in the village also use it this way?
But this thing, Yang Ruoqing really can't use it, the absorption effect is not good, it is inconvenient to move, and it is very unhygienic.

So she has been using it all by herself. She uses several layers of clean, soft and absorbent cotton to make a menstrual belt, and then fixes it around her waist, just like wearing a pair of underwear.

Later, when the conditions got better and she made more money, she discovered that rice paper was very good.

It is clean, hygienic, and the rice paper with good texture is soft and absorbs well.

So the menstrual belt has been improved, with ears added inside, you can stuff rice paper into it, jump up and down, and flip it 360 degrees without any problem.

She used it well, so she passed this method on to Xiaohua and Xiaoduo in private.

The sisters are tacitly using it.

Yang Ruoqing also thought about giving it to Mrs. Sun, but as soon as she took it out, Mrs. Sun's face turned red like something, she hurriedly accepted it, and before Yang Ruoqing could tell how to use it, she pushed Yang Ruoqing out of the room.

Hey, my aunt is sick, most likely she was infected by these unhygienic things.

If a woman gets sick in that area, it will be very painful.

Next time I have a chance to have a bold exchange with Mrs. Sun, I don't want my mother to get sick!

After making up her mind, Yang Ruoqing put away her things again, closed the lid of the box and turned to do other things.

Soon, it will be New Year's Eve.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Sun and the others were still in the capital, and Chen'er was also in the capital.

Yang Ruoqing felt sorry for her father Yang Huazhong and younger brother Xiao An who were lonely at home, so she called the two families together for the New Year's Eve dinner last year.

This year is different, except for Tang Yazi, everyone else is back.

Da'an and Xiao'an are back, Chen'er is back, and Feng'er is added.

So this year's Chinese New Year, although the two families were separated, they were very lively.

It's just that during the excitement, Yang Ruoqing suppressed her longing for Luo Fengtang in her heart. As for her ambition, she tried not to think about it.

Thinking too much can't change anything. It's not that she didn't try hard to keep her, it can only be said that she has no power to do so.

"Qing'er, bring Chen'er and the baby over to eat dumplings after watching the year tonight, because in the early morning we will invite the big guys over to help set off the firecrackers, I made a lot of dumplings!"

At night, when Yang Ruoqing brought a pair of children to the eldest Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings, Sun said to her.

If a boy is born in the family, a lot of firecrackers will be set off on New Year's Eve to celebrate, and relatives and friends at home must be invited to come and set off.

Inviting relatives and friends over to set off firecrackers, it is natural to greet them with food.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Chen'er said earlier that he would watch the New Year's Eve tonight and help his brother Feng'er set off firecrackers!"

Mrs. Sun smiled happily, and her loving eyes swept over Chen'er and Luo Baobao, with relief in her eyes.

Da Sun and Huang Mao brought a lot of melon seeds, peanuts and various snacks, "Come, come, don't bother talking, let's talk while cracking melon seeds, tonight is the New Year's Eve!"

Yang Ruoqing thanked her with a smile, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them up, looking out into the yard from time to time.

Da'an, Dajie, Xiao'an, Chen'er, and Yang Yongjin were all sitting at the next table, talking about topics that men like to talk about.

Although Chen'er is the youngest, and there is still a generation gap between them, but sitting together here, she doesn't feel any disobedience at all.

Moreover, this was originally a chat for the elders, but in the end it became the focus unconsciously.

The elders at the table were all listening to him, and asking him about things from time to time.

No matter which elder asked the question, Chen'er always smiled and responded patiently.

He is not humble and does not say anything, he is a humble gentleman, but it also makes people feel awe-inspiring.

Especially under the light, the side face that resembled Luo Fengtang made Yang Ruoqing feel dazed for a moment.
