Hard work

Chapter 176 Preparation for Growing Up

Lan Hua'er knew that if outsiders found out about her view of feelings, especially the matchmakers who were in charge of proclaiming marriage, they would probably treat her as a psychopath.It is estimated that only Gaihua and Goudan, who grew up in such a family like her, can resonate with her a little bit.

If people know that she wants to get in touch first, and then make a decision after they like each other, it is estimated that no one will be willing to marry her, even those who are willing to try to get in touch with her may not be able to marry her. If there is no more.

I figured that even if Lian Gaihua knew about it, she would have to persuade her to accept such thoughts.As an ancient woman, not everyone can be as lucky as Guan Ju, to meet a caring person who sees each other right at a glance, or like Fang Ningai, who has the courage to escape marriage with the person she likes.

Even Fang Ningai probably regretted it terribly now.Lan Hua'er asked her a lot, and she always said that if all kinds of things and people hadn't happened to happen at that time, and her brain was cramped, she wouldn't have escaped.

"Even if I was carried out, then I should be carried out, and... there is no way. Now that I have dragged A'Du to this village, I don't know what to do. If I want to keep A'Du forever, I will I'm afraid he won't be happy. Let him find a wife here, I always feel that he will look down on... Well, to be honest, I'm not reconciled. But... this is not a good thing..."

Every time Lan Hua'er asked, Fang Ningai always shook her head in a daze.

Lan Hua'er originally wanted to gossip and give these two people a push between each other, but then her own affairs became too busy, and she didn't have time to deal with such matters.

Moreover, Lan Hua'er always felt that the two were happy with each other after all.Even if the others don't do anything, they will definitely be able to get together, it's just a matter of timing, and it's just a matter of seeing what happens in the middle.

I don't know if Zang Lang felt the eyes of the people in the village. After the injury on his hand got better, he stopped letting Lan Hua'er go to the field to see him often, and said in a muffled voice:
"The sun is very hot, little lady, don't come outside often."

He had been using this excuse before to say that Lan Hua'er was driven away from home, and Lan Hua'er didn't know if he really thought so, or made up an excuse, but he also listened to him.

Zang Lang himself also scratched his head, and said to Lan Huaer:
"Those ladies in the city always say that the sun is not good, that they face each other... I don't understand either. But little lady, don't stay in the sun, and you will get dizzy easily."

Lan Huaer looked at it from the eyes of a modern person, and thought that those women were probably overheard by Zang Lang when they were discussing the harmful effects of sunlight on the skin.Indeed, in the ancient times when there was no protection, women's skin care was indeed a problem.Even if they are rich and powerful, they have flower petals, milk and honey, but after all, there is no means of isolation and sun protection.If the skin is really exposed to too much sun, it is estimated that all kinds of spots will follow, and there is no remedy.

Although she always thought that a natural face was the best, and that the so-called skin care products were actually industrial products, she still accepted Zang Lang's kindness.

On weekdays, if there is any honey left in the jar, or if it gets on her hands, she will wipe it on her lips and face.Although at her age, there is no need to worry too much about skin care.At her current age, no matter which dynasty she is in, she is still a child.

She was even curious all the time, if a young lady at her age hadn't even had menarche, if she married at such an age, she really couldn't imagine how to have a baby.

Especially in ancient times, the phenomenon of old couples and young wives was extremely serious.When she took a shower by herself, she often wondered what is so good about this thin body with no breasts and buttocks, so that those people can bring up the desire to consummate the house.

No wonder there were so many things about Longyang in ancient times. It turns out that there is not much difference anyway.Lan Hua'er complained fiercely in her heart.

Recently, her body has also slowly begun to develop.Although it wasn't very obvious, she could feel that her chest was stuffy and hard, and the chest was heavy. Although it was not big, it hurt when she ran.

Although there are no elders in her family, she has experienced a growth long ago, and she is not surprised now, but silently made a vest for herself under the lamp, and wore it next to her body, so that the newly developed little The chest is covered a little.She even wants to make herself a teenage bra, but unfortunately there is no such thing as a rubber band these days, so she definitely can't make a bra.

Because her breasts have really developed, Lan Huaer always thinks about when she should have menarche, so she even prepared some things that women need to use.

Naturally, there were no sanitary napkins in ancient times. Women in ancient times used something similar to a cloth crotch, with straw or ashes filled in the middle, and several of them were kept at home and used in turn.

Lan Hua'er felt that this was actually quite unclean, but even the quilts on the bed in her house were stuffed with Ulagrass, so there was no cotton for her to waste.After thinking about it for a long time, she could only imitate the people in the village and make some cloth crotches stuffed with boiled and dried Ula grass.

The cloth must of course be washed and ironed.

She hopes to replace it with a new one every time, but there is no such condition in the family office. She can only think of scalding it with boiling water every time after washing and changing it, so that it will be disinfected after all.If there is enough wine in the house, she can't wait to soak it in alcohol.

After this time-traveling, it was the first time for Lan Huaer to feel sad like this.Originally, she always felt that even if she traveled through time, no matter how inconvenient she might be, it could be overcome.Now this time she really felt the chasm she had crossed.

The gap has always existed, and Lan Hua'er was so worried that she couldn't help but ran to Fang Ningmei to discuss it—she thought about it for a long time, and always felt that Aru was a girl from the village, and she couldn't say anything better than cloth crotch Opinions come; and Guan Ju seems to be a little too rich.Fang Ningai is more appropriate.

Fang Ning'ai quietly listened to Lan Huaer's speech, and asked her in a low voice:

"Alan, have you already...?"

Lan Huaer quickly shook her head:
"Not yet. It's just that I heard people say that they should be prepared. They said that my mother should have taught me about this and prepared it for me. But looking at my house If you don’t have an elder, you have to tell me first.”

Fang Ningai didn't have any doubts when she heard this, she just nodded her head and said:
"It is indeed necessary to prepare. I don't know what people in this village prepare, but I used to use cotton wool, flick it on the cloth, and burn it after use. There are also cotton wool at home. You If you want to use it, you can use it first. I asked Adu to plant some cotton seeds this year, and I didn’t intend to sell it for money. It’s good to use it for yourself. If you use it well, we can use it together , or you can ask Zang Alang to plant some. If you want to learn, I will teach you how to flick cotton wool onto the cloth."

Lan Hua'er is actually not willing to accept favors from others for nothing, but this time she really felt that she couldn't stand those "sanitary napkins" that were washed and changed. Thinking about it, she found it really unbearable, so she silently accepted Fang Ning's offer. kindness.

For this matter, she also sent Fang Ningai a lot of glutinous rice wine and fermented bean curd, and asked for some cotton seeds from Fang Ningai, and gave them to Zang Lang so that Zang Lang could learn to grow some.

Because I don't plan to do anything else, I just use it for myself, so I don't grow many.

In fact, the economic crops in ancient times were not very developed.Because the ancient land tax needs to be paid with grain, it cannot be replaced by other crops or silver.And the tax is still very high. After paying the tax every time, there is actually not much left. Some people don’t even have enough to feed themselves for a year.Under such circumstances, not many people dare to vacate the land to grow cash crops.

And the land is fertile.If you keep planting things on it, no matter how fertile the land is, it will be "eaten" into lean soil, and then nothing can be grown.

Even if the field can be rested occasionally in the gaps of growing grain, no one dares to plant the land to the extreme all the time.

Lan Hua'er doesn't try to make money from this, but just plant some on the edge of the field.Especially the land on their hillside, the harvest was not high, but it would be fine if they planted some cotton instead.

Zang Lang was a little surprised, thinking why the little lady suddenly wanted to grow cotton.But he is hardworking and very obedient.Orchid said he wanted to plant it, so he went to plant it.He had never grown cotton before, so he saw that Lan Du was growing it, so he went to ask about it.

Seeing that he actually went over to ask this question, Lan Du couldn't help showing an inscrutable smile to Zang Lang. The smile made Zang Lang feel a little inexplicable, so Lan Du stretched out his hand and patted Zang Lang's shoulder, saying:

"Take care of your little lady, she is about to be robbed by someone."

Zang Lang was inexplicably and a little creepy by his smile, and couldn't help scratching his head, but when he asked carefully, Lan Du just smiled and shook his head, refusing to say anything, just asking his family to ask Lan Hua'er .

He turned around and asked Lan Huaer what he did to grow cotton.

Unexpectedly, Lan Hua'er only blushed slightly, and he hesitated to respond, saying that she wanted to use it at home in the future, but she refused to make it clear.Zang Lang became even more curious.

However, curiosity is curiosity, he is obedient after all.Lan Huaer asked him to grow cotton, so he planted it honestly, just thinking about when he would have a chance, and wanted to ask Lan Du what he meant by that.
