Chapter 31

Fang Yumin lay on the bed, stroking her stomach and sighing, bored.Xiao Ming sat by the bed and counted peanuts with his mother while Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei dutifully guarded the house for them.

"Xiao Lian, come on, drink this bowl of sugar water, and you will feel better." Lin Qiulai came in with a bowl of brown sugar, and sat by the bed as if to feed Fang Yumin.

"I'll do it myself, oh~" Fang Yumin hurriedly got up and wanted to take the sugar water, but just then she moved, and suddenly felt like a tide was rushing out from below her, she couldn't help but screamed and froze, and dared not It moved agitatedly, and colorful flashes flashed on its face.

Lin Qiulai bit his lower lip and tried hard to force back the smile on his lips. He put down the bowl and stepped forward to help Fang Yumin lie back on the bed carefully, and said softly, "Little Lian, lie down, let me feed you."

After finishing speaking, Lin Qiulai fed Fang Yumin spoonfuls of sugar water, and then went out to twist a warm cloth towel. Regardless of Fang Yumin's objection and embarrassment, Lin Qiulai directly lifted her clothes and covered her stomach with the cloth towel.

"Mother, are you feeling better?" Xiao Ming lay on the side of the bed and took Fang Yumin's hand, looking at her anxiously, his little face was full of worry.

Fang Yumin's heart surged with enthusiasm, when was he cared for by two men, big and small?My heart softened, I reached out to touch Xiao Ming's smooth face, and said softly: "Mother is fine, Xiao Ming don't worry. Go out and play with Xiaobai and Xiaohei, ah."

"No, Xiao Ming is here with mother." Xiao Ming didn't want to go out, for fear that mother would not be able to wake up if she fell asleep like last time.

"Xiao Ming, go out with daddy, mother wants to sleep for a while. When mother gets better, I will cook for you, okay?" Fang Yumin persuaded softly.

"Okay then, mother, just call me if you're bored."

"Okay." Fang Yumin smiled at Xiao Ming, and patted his little hand.This is the second time that Xiao Ming has been with her by the bedside.

"Then you have a good rest, call me if you need anything, we'll be outside." Lin Qiulai put a cloth bag beside the bed, and said a little shyly, "It's a stuffed cloth bag inside, it's clean."

When Fang Yumin heard this, two red clouds suddenly appeared on her pale face.She always thought that this man was a little filial, a little stupid, a little stunned, a little stupid, anyway, except for his facial features and figure, he was so considerate in ancient times.

Fang Yumin knew that in ancient times, most men believed that a woman's sanitary belt was a symbol of evil and dirty.Very taboo to see a woman's sanitary belt.But Lin Qiulai personally prepared a bag for her to use.

"Qiu Lai, thank you." Fang Yumin sincerely thanked you.

"Xiao Lian, I still want to hear you call me 'Brother Qiu Lai'. You don't call me 'Brother' anymore when you come back this time. I know, it's because I'm too useless to protect you and Xiao Ming. You have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of grievances. You should be upset with me." Lin Qiulai said shamefully, holding Fang Yumin's cold hand.

Fang Yumin was shocked: Isn't it?Xiaolian called her husband 'Brother Qiulai'?Why doesn't she have any impression?This Fang Xiaolian, why does she always give some information and not give any information!

Thinking of this, Fang Yumin immediately shook Lin Qiulai's hand, and said with a smile, "I didn't annoy you by calling your name directly, but I saw Aunt Chunhua calling Uncle Damin and directly calling him 'Damin', 'his father 'Yes, just follow her and she also calls you 'Qiu Lai', don't you like me calling you like that?"

Lin Qiulai was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly shook his head: "I like it, I like it, from now on you can call me 'Qiulai', or 'his father'. Also, Xiaolian, thank you."

Fang Yumin breathed a sigh of relief, and forced a smile: "I'm an old husband and wife, what are you thanking? You and Xiao Ming go out, I want to rest for a while."

"Okay. Then you have a good rest."

"Ah."

Lin Qiulai and Xiao Ming left the room reluctantly, Fang Yumin's whole body relaxed, and she lay on the bed like a dead fish, wanting to cry without tears.

It has been almost a month since she passed through, and she has been busy for the past twenty days without touching the ground.Either he was busy looking for food to cook, or he was busy working, and he was busy sweeping out that nasty old woman, but he never thought that she was a woman, and she was still a very young woman.It's because women have such inconvenient days every month, it's because women will come to the aunt!

I just came back from Aunt Chunhua's house today, and I suddenly felt my stomach swell and fall down. This feeling is very familiar.It's like, like the feeling of an aunt who must come to report once a month!
Fang Yumin was startled. It has been almost a month since she passed through. She never thought that women in ancient times were also menstruating!Throwing away the things in his hand quickly, he didn't even care about Xiao Ming running up to act like a baby, and rushed directly into the toilet.

I opened my pants and saw, Oh my god!Hit!
Fang Yumin wanted to cry, but she had been planning to make papyrus when rebuilding the latrine, but Fang Xiaolian was thin and weak, and Lin Qiulai was not at home, so Fang Yumin just made do with leaves and vegetables.Now that I'm here, I don't even have straw paper, what can I do? What should I do?
There is no Hushubao, no ABC, no disposable sanitary napkins sold in any modern supermarket!What did Fang Xiaolian use when her period came?Fang Yumin raised his head to the sky and screamed, it's a sanitary belt!

Pit father ah ~ sanitary belt!
Fang Yumin came out of the latrine with ashen face, just in time to meet Lin Qiulai who had heard the news.Fang Yumin was in a gloomy mood and ignored him, she just wanted to go back to her room and take out Fang Xiaolian's toilet belt.Oh my god, let's have a thunder, and smash her back to modern times!

"Little Lian? Are you okay? You look so pale." Lin Qiulai didn't mind Fang Yumin's ignorance, and asked with concern.But after a while he knew what was going on.

Although Lin Qiulai is young, he is only 24 years old this year, but he is also a man who has been married for six or seven years.He also knows the little things about women every month, not to mention that he is so familiar with Fang Xiaolian.Looking at her walking posture, you can understand what's going on at a glance.

Fang Yumin ignored Lin Qiulai and just rushed to the room.Lin Qiulai hurriedly stepped forward to help her into the room and let her sit down, then he opened the cabinet and took out a cloth bag from the inside and handed it to Fang Yumin.

Fang Yumin knew this cloth bag, it should be said that Fang Xiaolian knew it.Inside is a sanitary belt that Fang Xiaolian made for herself, which was a very private thing in ancient times.

Lin Qiulai didn't say a word, he went out for a while and came in again.A basin of warm water, two clean cloth towels and a bag of plant ash were brought one after another.He glanced at Fang Yumin, then went to the cabinet to get another cloth bag, closed the door and went out.

After Lin Qiu came out, Fang Yumin opened the cloth bag tremblingly, what a scam!Thinking of her, Fang Yumin, who was born 34 years ago, how could she have used such a simple and horrible sanitary belt!

Suddenly feeling some more pouring out from below, Fang Yumin didn't care about emotion, quickly took out a cloth bag filled with plant ash, put it in the belt of the sanitary towel and tied it up.Then he lifted up the skirt, took off the panties, and after washing, he used Fang Xiaolian's remaining memories to fasten the sanitary belt on his body in a hurry.

God!This, why does this look like a chastity belt for sex toys!

cheating~
Fang Yumin simply changed all the clothes on her body, crumpled up the dirty underwear and threw it on the ground.Then spread out on the bed and pretended to be dead as if he had lost all strength.

In this ancient times, in fact, she really wants to die!This Fang Xiaolian is really an unlucky woman, she actually suffers from menstrual pain!

Fang Yumin pressed her stomach and wanted to roll on the bed, but she didn't dare to move when she thought that the pads under her trousers were not sanitary napkins for night use, so she had to lie on her back with ashes on her face.Thinking of her, Fang Yumin, since the onset of menstrual cramps at the age of 14, her stomach will only be swollen and uncomfortable, but she has never experienced menstrual pain.

It's a loss, it's a big loss!
"Xiaolian?" Lin Qiulai's concerned voice came from outside the door.

Fang Yumin was listless and in no mood to pay attention to him, she was now caught in the consciousness of her own misery and couldn't extricate herself.

"Xiao Lian? Xiao Lian, are you alright? Xiao Lian? Well, then I'm coming in." Lin Qiu came knocking on the door and called a few times. Seeing that Fang Yumin didn't speak, he hesitated and opened the door and came in.

As soon as he entered the door, he walked directly to the bed, and saw Fang Yumin lying motionless on the bed like a dead fish.Lin Qiulai didn't speak any more, he just picked up the quilt and shook it off and gently covered her stomach.

Touching her face and hands, Lin Qiulai glanced at her and took out Fang Yumin's clothes and wooden basin that had been thrown on the ground.

Fang Yumin opened her mouth to stop him, but she couldn't speak, and a red cloud slowly appeared on her pale face.God!Lin Qiulai won't wash those clothes for her, will he?Those blood-stained pants... Oh my god, come on and knock me back!

Lin Qiulai actually washed the pair of pants for Fang Yumin, and after drying them, he packed a dozen cotton bags for her with plant ashes.In the end, I made a bowl of sugar water for her, so the scene began.

Fang Yumin just fell asleep thinking about it in such embarrassment, but in her heart, Lin Qiulai, who was originally a negative score, suddenly became a new good man.Although the score was not very high, Lin Qiulai finally caught her eyes.

Because Fang Yumin had menstruation, she was listless all day long and didn't want to move when she stayed in the room.So the preliminary preparations for the noodle stall, which had been going on like a fire, were cut short at Lin Qiulai's house for the time being.Lin Qiulai didn't go up the mountain anymore, so he stayed at home to make wooden carts, tables and chairs, as well as all the housework at home.

Lin Qiulai's family simply ignored Zhang Cuihua, who made a fool of herself from time to time, as if she was transparent.Fang Yumin didn't have the energy to deal with it, Xiao Ming didn't want to talk about it, but Lin Qiulai, in his heart now, his wife and son are more important.Howl as you like!Get out if you like!After howling and rolling, please go home quickly!

This person is like this. When no one pays attention to you, you will only treat you as a joke if you send bullying again.

Fang Xiaolian is soft-tempered, and Zhang Cuihua used this trick to force her to reap benefits; but now that the inner core is replaced by Fang Yumin, who is stronger than her, this trick is useless.Now even Lin Qiulai and Xiao Ming have become tough and ignored her.

After four days of such depression, Fang Yumin finally came back to life after her menstrual period ended.She is currently cooking in the kitchen in a happy mood. There are scrambled eggs with shallots, fried cabbage stems with bacon, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and dried shrimp and gourd soup.Xiao Ming walked around Fang Yumin happily, with a greedy expression on his face.

Lin Qiu came to cook for the past few days, it was so unpalatable, he ate the leftover pork offal and boiled cabbage, or boiled sweet potato seedlings, or boiled zucchini, or boiled... this boiled It doesn't refer to boiled in Sichuan cuisine, but boiled in boiled water with salt, which made her and Xiao Ming feel like they were going crazy.

Lin Qiulai came home with a hoe and saw such a pleasant scene.As soon as Fang Yumin turned her head and saw him, she said happily, "You're back, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Okay, okay, hehe."

"Daddy, hurry up, mother has cooked a lot of delicious dishes."

"Daddy will go right away." Lin Qiulai put down the hoe, scooped up water and washed his face and hands.

Fang Yumin regained his vitality, he was happier than anyone else.In those few days, he was also very depressed.He doesn't mind washing Xiaolian's clothes, and he doesn't mind doing all the housework, but... Xiaolian looks like this every day, and he feels very sad.

Everything was back on track. Under Fang Yumin's leadership, Lin Qiulai's family of three greeted every morning with a happy mood every day.

After breakfast, Fang Yumin taught Xiao Ming and Lin Qiu how to count with branches on the ground, learning for half an hour every day.Start with Arabic numerals and proceed step by step until reciting Jiuyinge and learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.She wants them to learn to keep accounts in the future.

At the beginning, Lin Qiulai was surprised that Fang Yumin knew so much, but he knew that Fang Xiaolian's mother used to be a wife, and she was also a lady who knew both books and etiquette.At that time, she was the one who taught Xiaolian and him how to read and write.So Lin Qiulai didn't struggle with it for long, and Fang Yumin's teaching was interesting, so he soon let go of it.

After studying, Lin Qiulai and Fang Yumin went to make toilet paper.But after this experience of using gray cotton bags as sanitary napkins, Fang Yumin decided to immediately put straw paper production on the agenda.

Fang Yumin moved his mouth, and Lin Qiu came to do it.First, a guillotine was made to chop the rice and orange wheat stalks, and then soaked in water with lime to soften them. After changing the water several times, the soft and rotten fibers were scooped up with a square net made of hemp gauze and spread out into squares. The straw paper, after drying, is the handmade straw paper.

Although it feels very rough, although it looks yellow and ugly, it is paper after all, isn't it?After all, there is no need to take vegetable leaves anymore, right?Moreover, these straw papers can also be used for Lin Qiulai and Xiao Ming to learn from.

"It would be nice if these could be ground a little finer, then the straw paper would be softer." Fang Yumin sighed while cutting the straw paper.

Lin Qiu came to hear it, and said, "Then wait until it softens, and then I'll grind it finer before drying it."

Fang Yumin looked up at him, and said after a long time, "That's so troublesome. Besides, what kind of mill do you use? The stone mill at home can only be used to grind grain."

"When the time comes, put everything into the mortar and grind it with a wooden beater, and it won't be troublesome. Let's make a decision like that."

Fang Yumin looked at Lin Qiulai, and suddenly felt that his clothes, which Fang Xiaolian had patched with many colors for him, were not so dazzling anymore.The silly smile that often showed her white teeth seemed to become brighter.

"Little Lotus?"

"In this case, I will trouble you."

"No trouble at all, really. I'd be happy to do anything for you."

"...Qiu Lai, thank you."

After that, Lin Qiulai went to the seedling fields and cornfields every day to check and get busy, and then went home with an ax on his back and went up the mountain to cut wood and bamboo and go home to make furniture.

Fang Yumin cooks, washes, and sun-dries vegetables and melons every day. Every day after lunch, she goes to Aunt Chunhua's house to help make sweet potato flour.

And Xiaoming stayed at home with Xiaobai and Xiaohei. In addition to going to the vegetable field to catch insects to feed the chickens at home, Fang Yumin also left him a lot of homework.For example, counting beans and peanuts, reciting Jiuyin songs, learning to write... I am very busy.

After being so busy for several days, it's time to go to the market again.This time Fang Yumin asked Aunt Chunhua to go with her, and they had to buy a lot of spices and seasonings.Of course, pigs are also one of her goals, and it is best to buy ones with pig stomachs attached.

Pork belly is still a favorite of many people. It is different from pig intestines and lungs. It has a less strong taste, and it tastes like meat.Therefore, many pork guys will cut up the pork belly and sell it separately.The cheap pork offal that Uncle Gui brought back for Fang Yumin all had no pork belly.

Thinking of pork belly and chicken stew, Fang Yumin couldn't help drooling.This time, I have to buy one no matter what, well, the hen at home doesn’t cuddle, so let’s take the breeding eggs to Aunt Chunhua’s house and let her hen cuddle.No matter what, she has to raise a bunch of chickens. She has been thinking about eating chickens for a long time.
