The heroine of Kuai Chuan Zhi's family only farms

Chapter 1297 [1296] The story of the buried female farming 24 (5000)

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, this method even continued into the 60s and [-]s of later generations, and rural women in some remote areas are still using it.

It was probably in the 90s that sanitary napkins were gradually accepted by the majority of female comrades. Before that, plant ash played a larger and wider role.

Of course, what she said was how ordinary people used it. In ancient times, the girls of rich families were all delicate, and they used menstrual belts. Although the outside was cloth strips, the inside was wrapped with expensive cotton.

And the animal world she traveled through back then, before there was no cloth, all that could be used were leaves.

After the cloth was available, the method of wrapping charcoal ash in the cloth was used. Because the cloth can be washed repeatedly and the plant ash is easy to get, it has become a common method for more women to deal with menstrual periods.

Of course, after the invention of paper, rich people also used paper similar to rice paper to increase water absorption, and it can be discarded at any time after use.But the outer layer is still wrapped in cloth.

Tangyuan has known this knowledge before. In 1550 BC, there was a record in Egypt of putting soft cloths into women's vaginas to prevent pregnancy.

Experts infer that these soft cloths are also used to cope with menstruation, which is probably the first generation of "sanitary napkins" as we know them.

In this life, she has no parents, and she doesn't know the exact date of her birthday. It stands to reason that girls have a birthday ceremony, but don't say that she doesn't care about it. Even these girls in the deep mountains and old forests don't have the so-called bound feet. She was also glad that she was not poisoned, otherwise it would be a problem whether the mountain road could be successfully walked or not.

But this era is still proud of bound feet. It is true that the three-inch golden lotus is praised so much. If you want a daughter to marry well in the future, you have to be ruthless. As for why she, a court lady, did not bind her feet, it is mainly because It's not easy to walk, and I can't walk well, so how can I be a court lady?Therefore, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the court ladies did not bind their feet.

Liu'er didn't have her feet bound either, but her mother did.

"My mother said that she didn't know how well she married if her feet were bound, and she had to suffer this kind of punishment since she was a child, so she didn't want me to suffer, so she didn't let me bind my feet."

Bai He patted her head rejoicingly: "Your mother is right. Unbound feet is not an indicator of happiness in the future. If people are excellent, some people will come to ask for marriage. It has nothing to do with big feet or small feet."

She didn't bind her feet, and she didn't see how disgusted Wei Ying was!So, people are what they are, so why bother. Fortunately, she was born as a court lady, otherwise, she might suffer a lot of crimes!
As for her original home, she didn't intend to look for it again. Why did she look for her? She didn't know her, and she didn't have any feelings for her. , who knows?

It's just poor people!

The Spring Festival is full of fish and meat. Not only the adults, but even the babies who have been eating for a few months, can't help but salivate when they see them eating.

After all, the An family is also her god-in-law, so she gave them two fishes as an annual gift. Although there were only two fish, they weighed seven or eight catties, which was considered a heavy gift, plus Xiangzi A total of four gifts were integrated into the cakes made, and they were sent over on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Wei family has no relatives, and the Cui family does not need to visit relatives, but for the neighbors who helped them bury their parents, Bai He still reminded Cui Xiang to send snacks as a gift years ago, no matter how much effort they put in and how much money they donated, This kindness must always be kept in mind, and there is always nothing wrong with going to see it during the holidays. As for the distant relative, it is up to Cui Xiang to see.

Baihe was free that day, sitting in the yard with her baby and watching Liu Er being a female celebrity. She saw a man from the Pang family pass by their house and went up the mountain, but came down again after a quarter of an hour. Only win.

"He borrowed money from me. Didn't his wife give birth to a daughter last month? Maybe he can't make ends meet, so he wants to borrow some money from me."

Bai He raised her eyebrows: "Borrowed?"

Wei Ying shook his head, "It's not the first time his family has borrowed money, but it has already borrowed [-] Wen from our family before and after, and it has not been returned. This time I didn't borrow it, and he was quite angry, blaming me for taking his son so far away." , No one is doing the work at home, all pointing at him alone, unable to earn money, he is about to be scolded to death by his own wife."

Bai He complained in her heart, she really deserved it!As if the big guy owes you, you drove your son away, and Wei Ying helped to tie the knot, so why did you become a sinner instead?

"Didn't you give them a few hundred Wen when you came back? Did you spend it all so quickly?"

Wei Ying shook his head, "I don't want to take care of his family's affairs anymore. The money I owed before probably won't come back. It's best not to contact him!"

Wei Ying's words seemed to be out of anger, Wei Cheng listened to him and slapped him beside him.

"I told you a long time ago that that kid is not a good thing. You are a person who values ​​that loyalty. Now you can see who this family is, right?"

Wei Ying didn't speak any more, Bai He only said: "It's not about helping the poor, in this deep mountain and old forest, I guess there's no time to be in a hurry to spend money."

In an ancient village, what can you do with money in a hurry?It must be to see a doctor. She is a doctor herself, and can save common illnesses. Even if you don’t give money, she will save them as long as she can. So there is nothing that can use money. As for your family needs I need money to buy furniture or get married and have children. I'm sorry, she won't take advantage of such things to save face.

Usually, the cheap price of coming to her to see a doctor is enough. Sometimes Xiangzi goes to the city to help bring things, and they are short of a few pennies. Taking advantage of the banner of bringing something, sorry, don't bring it!Don't borrow money either!If you want to bring it, you can take out the money that was poor last time, and it will be like this every time. Do you really think they have been taken advantage of?

This is a typical thankless effort.

The sophistication of people in the village is also very troublesome. Fortunately, Bai He is a doctor, so he is not afraid of offending anyone. Xiangzi didn't know how to refuse when he first came here. It's not only difficult, but also very difficult to get cheap, and you may even be attacked by her.

During the Spring Festival this year, she prepared four kinds of dumpling fillings, pork and scallions, pork with celery, pork with cabbage, and eggs with leeks. Just the meat needed for dumpling fillings took two men all morning.

She started making dumplings early in the morning on New Year's Eve. She took out a kind of dumpling stuffing and a kind of dumpling stuffing. She took out all the stuffing for fear of staleness, so she took the pork and green onions first. Because there were many people, she finished making dumplings in one plate. , just enough to eat for the day, and the remaining three are just eaten until the third day of the new year.

In addition to dumplings, she also rolled glutinous rice balls with rice noodles and slapped glutinous rice cakes. This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner is a combination of the north and the south. There is a whole table of sweets, salty food, fried fish, cold dishes, etc. Tonight, there are two tables put together Together, everyone sits together, there are a total of eight dishes, including dumplings, glutinous rice balls, etc. If you make more, you will have to eat leftovers on the first day of the new year. Their family does not have the habit of eating leftovers. just right.

Although eating leftovers on New Year's Eve means that there will be endless food in the coming year, Bai He, a modern person, never believes in these superstitions, so the food that night is not only suitable for the taste, but also enough for everyone to eat, even the little ones. Guy, also got her special care, half a bowl of steamed custard.

After the New Year's Eve, the New Year's Eve is over for the few of them, and they don't need to visit relatives. They just eat, drink, play and play every day, because they don't need to work during the New Year, so Wei Ying and Cui Xiang brought Bai He and Liu Er , and drove their family's donkey cart all the way to the county town slowly.

Originally, Acropolis wanted to come with him, but considering that donkeys could not carry so many people, and the family had these poultry and livestock to feed, so Acropolis did not follow.

"Since you go out to play, then have fun. Let me put the child at home, and I will take care of it."

Because Yu Sheng was too young, it was inconvenient to provide him with some food, so Wei Cheng offered to take care of him, which was regarded as keeping him a companion.

Bai He has been confined at home for a few months, so she is not welcome to have such a good opportunity to come out to relax.

Considering the cold weather in winter, I also specially changed to a car frame with a shed, but because it is a mountain road, there are many people with me this time, so they walked very slowly, and they had to stop every once in a while to feed the donkey something to eat and drink For some water, Bai He also secretly mixed some pasture and spring water in the space for it, for fear that it would get tired again.

When docked in the wild at noon, Wei Ying took his own bow and arrow to shoot two pheasants and came back. They were not too small, and it had been a long time since he had eaten chicken. When Bai He saw this chicken, he thought of beggar chicken , but this season can't afford lotus leaves. In the end, the chicken can only be made into roast chicken.

Fortunately, she also brought some salt with her. After sprinkled on it, the taste changed immediately. The roasted chicken also had a smokey smell, and the meat of the pheasant was much stronger than the domestic chicken. Two chickens and four people Divided, brother and sister have one, she and Wei Ying eat one.

Wei Ying went up and broke off the chicken's two legs to her, and tore off several pieces of white meat and put them on the leaves. He himself either gnawed on the chicken feet or the chicken head, or some places where there was no meat. Fortunately, the chicken was big enough. There is also a lot of meat in other parts, and her appetite is small, otherwise she is really worried about whether he can eat enough.

"You don't have to take care of me like this, one chicken leg per person, let's just tear and eat slowly,"

Cui Xiang and Cui Liu smiled ambiguously and sized them up, especially Liu Er.

"Sister, since my big brother Wei gave it to you, you can eat it. The two of you are giving back and forth. The eyes really give me goosebumps."

Bai He turned her head and glared at her, "What do children know? Eat yours!"

"That's right, look at my brother, he just stuffed me with a chicken leg, he ate one by himself, he's not friendly at all, he's not like my big brother Wei, he's all about you, sister,"

"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is. Even chicken can't stop your mouth, can it?"

Bai He couldn't stand the greasy atmosphere, so after eating a chicken leg and tearing off a piece of chicken breast, she was almost full, and pushed all the rest to Wei Ying, who watched her turn to the car As he walked away, he couldn't help but glared at Liu'er.

"Your sister is thin-skinned, don't talk about her in the future, the relationship between the two of us, just let it go, it's not that much fuss."

Liu'er seemed to understand, but Xiangzi understood in seconds, "Brother, don't worry."

When Wei Ying went to chase Bai He, Xiangzi nodded his sister's forehead.

"Stop meddling with the two of them, pretend to understand if you don't understand! What do you understand, little brat?"

The donkey was still happily eating, so Bai He found a big rock and sat cross-legged on it. When she heard movement behind her, she turned her head and saw that it was Wei Ying.

"What are you doing here, are you full?"

"I'm not very hot, I wrapped it up and put it in the car, but you, why do you look so preoccupied? Does the atmosphere of the New Year's Day make you homesick?"

Bai He shook her head, and subconsciously changed the subject, "You never like to be lively, so it's quite rare to be able to follow us to the county town this time."

"It used to be before. This time with you, it must be different. Besides, there are lanterns to watch on the fifth night of the fifth day of the lunar new year. Don't you girls like to watch them?"

Before Bai He could speak, Wei Ying said again: "I heard that there are some flamboyants at the Lantern Festival, and they are watching you girls and young masters and children from rich families. When you go back into the city, you have to follow closely." ,"

This point, regardless of the dynasty, the final destination of this girl and child is also very unbearable, especially those who are top-notch beautiful or have unusual family backgrounds, they will eventually become victims of politics, the bigger the city, the more accidents, It's a small county here, so I guess it's not that exaggerated.

She was also glad that the place she was staying in was remote and she couldn't reach such a high level, but she missed a move. She didn't expect that on the night of watching the lanterns, she would fold herself into it because of the disobedient Liu'er.

Originally, the four of them were separated. Liu'er and Xiangzi were together, and she and Wei Ying were together. Before leaving, they gave thousands of instructions not to run around. The two people who were very playful quickly forgot their instructions. Soon, Xiangzi, who was watching the acrobatics show, found that Liu'er was nowhere to be found, and hurried to the two of them for help.

But the county town was crowded that night, and they were on the busiest street, so anxious Xiangzi almost burst into tears.

At a critical moment, Bai He took advantage of the unpreparedness and released a white butterfly from the space. This white butterfly was produced by the space itself. Before going out, she put on a self-made face powder. Bai Die was familiar with the smell of the two of them, and she had her own aura, so she could understand her consciousness. Flying in one direction.

Bai He followed closely, and within a quarter of an hour, the few of them ran out of the busiest bustling street and turned into a remote alley.

After wandering around in the alley for half an hour, I finally saw the white butterfly flying into a yard.

"It's here, let's go in and have a look,"

Wei Ying grabbed her and said, "We can't go up rashly, there are only three of us, since the other party has done such a thing, it means that they came prepared, Xiangzi, we are here to guard, you hurry to report official."

Bai He frowned: "Report to the government? Are you sure the people from the government will come? It's just ordinary people who are lost. Will they come?"

After Wei Ying greeted Xiangzi to go, he turned his head to look at Bai He: "You have to try whether you come or not, they shouldn't stay here for too long, and they will find a way to transfer them as soon as they get them. You stay here honestly, and I will go up." See if anyone is in there."

Bai He is very confident in her Bai Die: "I'm sure, people are inside, but I don't know if there is a back door, we'll wait here at the front door, just in case,"

The two looked at each other in shock, and when they were about to run towards the back door at the same time, Bai He was held down by Wei Ying again.

"No, you can't come with me. You just wait here for Xiangzi. When Xiangzi comes, you go in. I'll go to the back door first. If they leave, I'll blow the willow whistle for you. Does the willow whistle know?"

As he spoke, he took out a willow whistle he made himself, which was convenient for them to communicate in the woods, but he didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.

After appeasing Bai He, Wei Ying jumped up to the courtyard wall of that family, she didn't know what was going on inside from the outside.

But waiting and waiting, only to find that the door of the master did not look, but the small door of the mansion next to him was opened, and a carriage was pulled out from inside, and the driver looked furtively at the street, making sure After no one was there, he immediately jumped into the car and ran towards the city gate.

Bai He felt that something was wrong. When the carriage ran past her, she took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and jumped behind the carriage. The huge shock immediately attracted the attention of the driver, and he quickly tightened his grip. He took off the reins, but he wandered around the restaurant twice, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

The carriage started to move again, and the speed gradually increased. Bai He, who had just grabbed the carriage shed and slipped into the space, took advantage of the noise of the carriage running, climbed to the side of the carriage and opened the curtain to look inside. Five or six people inside the carriage suddenly fell down. Young girls, they are big and small, she saw Liu'er at a glance.

But Liu Er and the others were all in a coma. If the driver dared to drive away alone, it proved that they had someone to meet them at the gate of the city. As expected, as long as they can do such a business, it is impossible to be okay.

Bai He grabbed the side of the car with all her strength, tried to grab the window several times but failed, after a cup of tea, the city gate arrived, and there seemed to be a token in the other party's hand. Check for immediate release.

After the carriage left the city, it drove east all the way, and finally entered a small road with seven turns and eight turns, and came to a farm in the suburbs.

The sound of knocking on the door was three long and two short. With such a signal, four or five people quickly ran out from inside, and they quickly carried a few girls in. After they were carried in, the carriage left without stopping, Bai He After the surroundings were quiet, she dared to come out from the dark place, looked at the gate, and then looked at the distance from here to the city gate. If she relied on her two legs to inform the news, it would probably be dawn. Besides, If she goes back now, she won't be able to enter the city gate!
Who would know if there are any people from the government that Xiangzi brought with him tonight?
