Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 360 Chapter 359

Er Niang happened to be feeling unwell during the Chinese New Year, so she had to rest for two days to get back to normal.

However, there is one thing that Xiaomi didn't think about before, and only now did he realize that he had neglected it for so many years.

After thinking about it all night, I still haven't figured out why. The next morning, seeing my father going out, I simply went to find my mother.

"Who is it?" As soon as he opened the door, he heard his mother's panicked voice, and Xiaomi saw her hastily cover something up.

"Mother? What are you doing, you are so mysterious."

Only then did I see a charcoal brazier under the window, and a bamboo sieve-like thing was placed on top of the charcoal brazier, and something was being roasted, but it was covered.

This is what Erniang covered just now. Xiaomi wanted to go over to have a look, but Erniang stopped him directly.

"You child, you don't even know how to knock when you enter the house. Do you want to go out to play again when you come to find your mother?"

"No, I want to ask my mother something, mother, what are you doing here, just let me take a look."

After speaking, she stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to see what mother was doing.

"You..." Erniang seemed to want to get angry, but she stopped suddenly, "Speaking of which, you are not too young, and you should know some things."

"Ah? What?" Xiaomi looked up blankly.

Erniang seemed to have made up her mind, and pulled Xiaomi: "Come on, let me tell you about this."

Looks a little blushing?
Xiaomi became even more curious. What was going on? It was so mysterious that she forgot her purpose of finding a mother.

"This is our women's stuff, you can't tell other people, it's shameful."

When she came to the brazier, Erniang couldn't help explaining to Xiaomi.

Xiaomi felt as if he knew what it was.

Just when I was feeling incredible for my own thoughts, I saw her mother directly lifted the layer of cloth on it.

Sure enough, there is a dustpan underneath, roasting things.

But when he saw what it was, Xiaomi was stunned for a moment: "Mother, this, this is?"

The Shau Kei is filled with cotton, which is still wet and should have been washed. There is also a rectangular cloth bag next to it, with long ropes at the four corners.

Erniang was obviously very embarrassed, and now she was too embarrassed to look at Xiaomi, even if it was her own daughter.

However, she still suppressed her embarrassment and pointed at the cotton.

"Wait a few more years, when you are a little older than your sister, one day you will..."

Xiaomi resisted the shock and listened. While rebuilding the three views, she also felt sad for the women of this era.

According to my mother, this is the menstrual belt.

The cotton is stuffed in the menstrual belt, but now it is changed and washed after use, about two or three times a month, because it is cold and the cotton is not easy to dry, so it is baked with charcoal.

Moreover, cotton is expensive, so not many people can use it, and even Er Niang is only willing to use it in recent years.

Before that, it was replaced by firewood ash, which didn't need to be washed, and the firewood ash inside was replaced when it was dirty.

The menstrual belt will not be washed until the end of each month.

Some poor women may have only one menstrual belt in their whole life.

However, because firewood ash can be very uncomfortable in summer, especially when you sweat, those who have better conditions at home will work hard to buy some cotton for themselves.

Her mother still kept telling her not to be afraid when she found out that she was bleeding in the future, she had already taken menstruation belts for her two daughters.

Tell her not to tell her brothers, even if she is a younger brother.

These words only passed through Xiaomi's ears once, and his mind was full of sanitary napkins in the space.

Even the cheapest one is definitely cleaner, more hygienic and breathable than this one!

After holding back for a long time, I resisted the urge to take it out on the spot.

"Mother, if you don't wash it clean like this, you will easily get sick. After washing next time, it's best to boil everything for a cup of tea, and then dry it in a ventilated place."

"Ah? What did you say?"

Xiaomi simply tore off the thick cloth covering the dustpan.

"You can't be stuffy like this. There will be a lot of invisible dirty things on it, and when you use it, it will stick to your body and you will get sick."

As she said that, she also pushed the window open: "Mom, everyone won't come in casually. This window is also located on the side, so it's fine to open it."

She knew that women in this era were shy, and they not only took their own reputation very seriously, but also would not let others see these private items, not even their own husbands.

She reckoned that even if her father knew these things about her mother, she would never have seen them, let alone touched them, otherwise she wouldn't have been in the house and covered them up so tightly.

It's completely opposite to the situation in the previous life when the boyfriend's husband helped his girlfriend's wife and bought sanitary napkins generously.

"Xiaomi, don't..." Erniang was almost startled by Xiaomi's actions, and she reached out to close the window.

"Mom, do you know that sickness will shorten your life?"

In a word, Erniang was stopped directly.

Er Niang's face was hesitant, although Xiaomi didn't say it clearly, they all knew where the illness was referring to.

"Really, really?"

Xiaomi nodded affirmatively: "Mother, think about it for yourself, is it because most women die early, but men can live many years longer? That's the reason!"

Of course, getting married too early and having too many children damages the body, confinement, not eating well and resting well, worrying too much, and being angry with parents-in-law are all important reasons for women to shorten their lifespan.

But Xiaomi will not say that it is so careful.

Sure enough, Erniang was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be true."

There are more widowers than widows.

Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, I'm going to buy a special small stove and a small earthen pot. From now on, every time these things are changed and washed, it will take at least one cup of tea."

"By the way, you must also tell the second sister, the second sister doesn't know yet."

After finishing speaking, she ran out. She went to find her mother, and originally wanted to ask her about her menstrual period.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this, which made her feel very uncomfortable. After all, she is nine years old, that is to say, her mother has been here for the past nine years.

Because she had something on her mind, when she was going out, she almost bumped into someone, but she didn't raise her head and just walked forward.

"Xiaomi, what happened today?"

"Xiaoxue? You came just in time, come here quickly, Mother has something to tell you."

Well, it was none other than Xiaomi Jigua's second sister who got hit.

"What's the matter, mother, what happened to Xiaomi? You didn't see me just now."

"Xiaomi is fine, I just told Mother something and asked Mother to tell you."

She was shy before, but Er Niang is not shy anymore because of the safety of her daughter, so she wants to explain it to her daughter quickly.
