Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Just at this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zhu came back from the village.

Father Zhu was holding an earthen bowl in his hand, which contained a bowl of dark water with two poached eggs floating on top.

Father Zhu handed the bowl to Zhu Yingying and said, "Go, take it to your sister and let her eat something first."

Zhu Yingying asked curiously, "Dad, what is this?"

Mr. Zhu replied, "It's brown sugar water with boiled eggs."

After saying that, Mr. Zhu walked towards the camp. He planned to see if he could pick some herbs nearby.

Zhu Yingying climbed onto the carriage and called out to Zhu Qingqing, "Sister, get up and eat eggs!"

At this time, Zhu Qingqing was half lying in the carriage, with a look of pain on her face.

It turned out that her aunt came to visit unexpectedly.

Ever since she came to this world, she has been so busy every day that she even forgot about this special "old friend" every month.

This afternoon, she was leisurely drinking afternoon tea in the carriage, but unexpectedly her period came suddenly, catching her off guard.

Zhu Qingqing shouted anxiously: "Mom, help me get a sanitary napkin!"

Upon hearing this, both Mother Zhu and Zhu Yingying were stunned.

It took them a while to react.

But where are the sanitary napkins here? Not even toilet paper.

Zhu Qingqing was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes. She was like an ant on a hot pan, fidgeting as if the end of the world was coming.

Zhu Yingying, standing beside her, stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief. She had never seen her sister lose her composure like this before. She always remembered her sister as calm and composed, unfazed by any setback. Even when she'd taken Didi back to her parents' home after their divorce, she hadn't been as flustered and helpless as she was now.

Then she felt relieved. If it were her, she probably wouldn't be much better. After all, it was a matter of physiological common sense and no one could avoid it.

She remembered the first time she had her period, she panicked and went to find her sister.

At that time, her sister was like a little adult, patting her back gently, gently comforting her not to be afraid, and telling her that every girl will experience such things. Then, her sister also carefully taught her how to deal with it.

"Sister, don't panic. There will be a way. I, I'll go find a replacement."

Zhu Yingying comforted her while taking out a few rough pieces of paper from her backpack and handed them to her, saying softly, "Well, let's deal with it first."

Mother Zhu also came to her senses and hurriedly said, "You use it first. I, I'll make you a menstrual belt."

The older generation used this thing to get through their menstrual period, and she had used it when she was young.

Wu Di looked at his mother's painful expression and asked distressedly, "Mom, can I rub your belly for you?"

As she spoke, she placed her little hand on Zhu Qingqing's abdomen and leaned against her very obediently, hoping to relieve some of her mother's pain.

Zhu Qingqing was touched when she saw that her mother, sister and daughter were all worried about her, but at the same time she felt a little embarrassed.

She suppressed her physical discomfort and tried to make her voice sound calm as she told them, "I'm fine. It's just that this happened so suddenly that I'm a little uncomfortable. Don't worry."

However, Zhu's mother was worried. She felt that Zhu Qingqing needed a good rest now, so she urged her to lie down and said that she would be able to make a menstrual belt soon and she could use it after arriving at her destination.

As she spoke, she took out the cloth for making underwear, threaded the needle, and began to sew quickly. Even the bumps in the carriage could not slow down her hands.

Zhu Qingqing watched silently and felt particularly warm-hearted. It’s great to be a child with a mother.

With my mother and relatives by my side, there is nothing to worry about.

After I relaxed, my stomach didn't hurt as much anymore.

As soon as the car arrived at the small village, Zhu's mother couldn't wait to find someone to buy eggs and boil brown sugar water, and asked Zhu's father to bring it over. She quickly packed the wood ash and placed it in a carefully crafted cloth bag, which was prepared for Zhu Qingqing.

Zhu Qingqing wolfed down the brown sugar egg and carefully got off the carriage. Under the careful care of her mother, she successfully used the homemade menstrual belt.

Afterwards, Zhu Qingqing returned to the carriage, and her mother gently told her to take a good rest. At the same time, she also told Zhu Qingqing that she had already asked the women in the village to prepare enough wood ash for the journey.

Zhu Qingqing seemed quite calm about all this, after all, she had gradually become accustomed to and accepted this lifestyle. However, Zhu Yingying beside her could no longer contain her excitement. She pointed at Zhu Qingqing excitedly and said, "Mom, you're a doctor! You actually used wood ash on my sister. Don't you think it's unhygienic?"

Facing Zhu Yingying's question, Zhu's mother sighed helplessly and explained, "I know this isn't perfect, but we're in the countryside right now, with limited resources, so there's really no other choice. Even if we wanted better items, we wouldn't be able to find any here."

Zhu Qingqing said helplessly: "Yingying, I'm fine, just make do with it. There's nothing we can do about it."

Zhu Yingying replied irritably, "No way, no way. Do I have to use this too?"

Mother Zhu spread her hands and said helplessly, "What else?"

Zhu Qingqing tried to comfort her: "Yingying, you can buy better things when you get to town."

Zhu Yingying said with dissatisfaction: "Good, how good is it? Not to mention sanitary napkins, there is not even any good toilet paper. How can I bear it? Sister, it's really not that I'm pretentious, but decades of living habits have been deeply engraved in my bones. Now suddenly I am asked to change all of this and adapt to this unfamiliar lifestyle. It's really too difficult!

I was really confused. Didn't other time travelers need to eat, drink, defecate, or urinate? Could they really adapt to this lifestyle so easily? I couldn't imagine how they coped with it.

Facts have proven that those time-travel novels are nothing more than fictional myths, and the protagonists are portrayed as godlike beings.

Whenever I think about the predicament I will face of not being able to take a shower for several days, having no toilet paper, no sanitary napkins, no shampoo, no shower gel... and even lacking basic necessities, endless sadness and pain well up in my heart.

"I wouldn't accept a life like this, even if I were a princess. Right now, I just want to return to modern society, even if I'm just an ordinary working girl. At least I can take a comfortable hot shower every day, and I don't have to endure the embarrassment of using that disgusting wood ash as a substitute for sanitary products."

When Zhu Yingying thought of the so-called menstrual belt, she felt a splitting headache.

"Oh, thinking about having to live this kind of life forever is so unbearable! Mom, sister, I wish I could travel back in time right now. If God gave me another chance, I would definitely not want to travel back in time. Those time-travel novels are all lies.

And now? Still getting slapped in the face by reality."

Zhu Qingqing interrupted her and said, "Enough, just rant for a bit, don't keep grumbling on and on. Why are you so impatient when you encounter such a small problem?"

Zhu Yingying frowned and said, "Is this a small problem? This is a big problem in life."

Mother Zhu patted her shoulder comfortingly and said gently, "Okay, my dear daughter, don't worry, everything will get better slowly. Even if it's a big problem, we can find a way to solve it. Believe that you can get through it."

Zhu Yingying pouted and said with a look of grievance: "But, this is really difficult..."

Zhu Qingqing looked at her sister's sad face and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, look at you, such a small thing makes you so distressed, you are such a little fool."

Zhu Yingying rolled her eyes and retorted, "This is no small matter! This is a major matter concerning my future!"

Mother Zhu sighed softly and said earnestly, "My child, difficulties are only temporary. As long as we work hard to face them, we will always find a solution. You know, our ancestors also started from nothing. It was through hard work and unremitting efforts that they lived the good life they have today."

Zhu Yingying nodded helplessly, but still felt a little unfair.

Zhu Qingqing patted her shoulder encouragingly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt. As a family, we will work together and overcome all difficulties."

Zhu Yingying forced a smile.

"Mom, sister, I'm not someone who can't handle things, but this is not easy to handle."

Mother Zhu: "Then let's not talk about this matter. Let's talk about it when you really encounter it."

She thought that her daughter had to accept it even if she didn't want to.

Zhu Yingying muttered to herself, "I hope my aunt will come to see her later. Oh, no, it would be best if she never comes.

She really couldn't accept it as calmly as her sister.
