After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money

The red and blue flowers finally arrived, and Su Shian and Su Shining needed to finish making the rouge in the next two days. Therefore, they returned to their busy life again - rushing home to continue working after class.

At this time, Deng Xian also came to help with Hongdou. At this moment, the tofu shop had passed the busiest time of the day, and the remaining affairs could be handed over to Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang to handle.

During the production process, Deng Xian suddenly noticed that there were dark marks on the blue skirt that Hongdou was wearing today, and her complexion did not look good. Su Shining asked in confusion: "Sister Hongdou, did your skirt fall into the water? I saw a piece that seemed to be red..."

Hongdou turned around and checked her skirt: "No, where is it?" However, the moment she turned her body, she felt something flowing out of her body... She suddenly became panicked and her face turned pale. In fact, she had heard the two mothers-in-law talk about menstruation, but they always evaded the question and made Hongdou feel that she had made a serious mistake.

Deng Xian gently instructed Ning'er, "Ning'er, hurry up and help Hongdou sit down." Then, she lowered her voice and asked Hongdou with concern, "Hongdou, do you feel anything special?"

Hongdou nodded with a blushing face and answered in a mosquito-like voice: "Hmm...it seems like something is flowing out of the body..." She was so shy that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Ning'er, take Hongdou to your room first and find her some of your clothes to change into. I'll go get something and be back soon..." Then, Deng Xian turned to look at Su Shian and Wu Jin who had been watching them, and gently said, "An An and Wu Jin, you are still young, go play over there by yourselves."

"Go play?" Su Shian thought to herself, isn't this a normal thing? Why are they all so embarrassed? Well, it seems that she has to explain the reason to everyone.

So, Su Shian held Deng Xian seriously and said, "Mom, don't treat me like a child. I'm already a grown-up! You don't have to hide anything from me. I know Hongdou's current situation very well. In fact, every girl goes through this stage of growth."

Su Shian continued, "I once saw a related record in a medical book. The book said that this is called menstruation, which represents the sign that girls are gradually growing into adults. In addition, during this period, you must pay special attention to keeping warm and avoid eating raw or cold food."

After hearing this, Deng Xian couldn't help but marvel in her heart that this child was really smart and clever. She never expected that Su Shian knew so much.

Su Shi'an brought Wu Jin and watched Deng Xian pick up the new menstrual belt and walk towards Su Shining's room together. He also told Hong Dou about the precautions regarding menstruation.

At this moment, Su Shining was sorting clothes aside, and Su Shian called out, "Sister, you should listen carefully too, maybe you will have your period soon."

"Okay, An An, what you said is correct. However, it would be more appropriate for us to discuss such topics in private." Deng Xian smiled and stroked Su Shian's head.

"Oh, I understand!" Su Shian blinked playfully, with a bright smile on his face.

Deng Xian looked at her gently and continued, "But Ning'er, you really have to listen carefully. After all, you and Hongdou are about the same age."

Su Shining had her head down, but when she heard her mother's words, her face suddenly turned red with shame, and she replied softly, "Okay, Mom."

"Fortunately, the rouge filtering has been completed. All we have to do now is wait. During this free time, I will teach you how to make a menstrual belt."

Hongdou had just heard that menstruation would last for six or seven days, and was worried about what to do if Deng Xian didn't give her enough menstrual belts. Unexpectedly, Deng Xian had already considered this and offered to teach them how to make menstrual belts. She quickly said gratefully, "Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Su Shian was full of curiosity about the "menstrual belt" used by ancient women. She got closer and observed it carefully. She saw that the menstrual belt was made of clean cloth in a long strip, and some of the two sides in the middle were slightly widened, just like the side leakage protection wings of modern sanitary napkins. There was a thin rope tied at each end of the menstrual belt to tie it to the body.

According to Deng Xian, in poor families, there is often a small pocket in the center of the menstrual belt, which is filled with ash. The ash comes from the ashes left after burning plants. It has a strong ability to absorb water and can effectively absorb moisture. At the same time, the ash also has excellent bactericidal effects. When it is used up, the ash inside will be replaced, then washed with clean water, and finally dried or baked with fire for the next use.

However, if the family is relatively well-off, they may choose to use leather or fine cloth to make menstrual belts; while families with less financial conditions may let their girls use relatively rough cloth.

However, most girls still use menstrual belts filled with plant ash. Except for those really poor families, many families are reluctant to spend money to buy cloth for their girls. What's more, they even think that menstruation is extremely dirty and even mentioning it is taboo.

Therefore, in the land where they live, there are a large number of women suffering from gynecological diseases, but even fewer dare to seek medical treatment. Most young women lose their precious lives as a result.

Compared to others, Deng Xian was a very lucky person. Because her family was well-off and Su Yu was more open-minded, she was able to use a menstrual belt made of cloth. Because of this, when she taught Su Shining and Hongdou how to make a menstrual belt, she naturally emphasized that they must choose the best cloth that they could afford.

However, a question emerged in Su Shian's mind: "Mom, should the menstrual belt be used only once and then thrown away?"

Deng Xian shook her head and replied, "Of course we can't waste it like this. We can just wash and dry it after use and reuse it. Ordinary families can hardly afford this, let alone throw it away casually."
