After ten years in the apocalypse, Qiao Yu died in battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to primitive society.
Her father, Shan, the tribal chief, was bitten by a tige...
Everyone was taking a break, and Qiao Yu was too lazy to be busy and decided to take a break.
But she would get bored again if she took a break. There were no entertainment activities these days, and there was really nothing to do at home except sitting there in a daze.
She simply walked around the tribe and thought about how to arrange the work next.
That day she came back from outside. As soon as she entered the door, a female voice sounded outside: "Yu."
"Please come in." Qiao Yu said loudly. When he walked out the door, he saw Shu's wife Ahua entering the yard.
"Auntie." Qiao Yu called out with a smile and invited her in.
Ah Hua sat down at the Eight Immortals Table and looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Yu has grown taller again. He's half a head taller than Miao now."
"Is Shu Miao okay? I've been out all the time and haven't seen her for a long time." Qiao Yu said.
"That's great," Ah Hua said with a smile. "Thanks to you, she joined the pottery team. Although everyone in the tribe has pottery now, we were still quite busy making charcoal some time ago. I heard from your uncle that you plan to let Lin join the ironmaking team this time. We really want to thank you."
"We're family, so we shouldn't have different opinions," Qiao Yu said. "When my father was injured, you guys helped us a lot. Besides, I'm not partial. Shulin and Shumiao are serious, hardworking and capable. Even without me, they can get in on their own merits."
"Hey, when it comes to being capable, who can compare to you?" Ah Hua waved her hand.
After a few pleasantries, Qiao Yu smiled and said nothing more, waiting for Ah Hua to speak.
Everyone knew she was busy, and they also knew she didn't like people coming over to chat. Ah Hua couldn't have come here just to chat. Looking at the joyous atmosphere everywhere below, maybe she was here to tell her about Shulin and Shu Miao's marriage.
After all, Miao was only half a year younger than her. In that era, they could have gotten married long ago. She didn't know why it had been delayed until now.
Ah Hua glanced outside the door and saw no one was there. She lowered her voice and asked, "Yu, are you still not bleeding?"
Qiao Yu's body stiffened, and then he remembered this matter.
She is now fifteen and almost sixteen, so why hasn't her period come yet? She is so busy every day that she has forgotten about it.
"No." She shook her head.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Ah Hua frowned. "Did you run around outside all day and catch a cold? We women have to take care of our bodies. We can't be like men and do whatever we want."
"Don't people in our tribe also bleed very late? I think this is normal." Qiao Yu said indifferently.
She wished her period hadn't come. Without the little angel protecting her, it would have been a real pain. In those days, there was no cloth, no paper, not even the old-fashioned menstrual belts made of ash. As far as she knew, women here sat in a stone basin filled with ash during their periods. If they had to move, they had to walk, and blood spilled on the ground was common.
This is also the reason why men and women do not work together in this era.
What's more, there is such a thing as dysmenorrhea.
In her previous life, before Qiao Yu developed her powers, she also suffered from menstrual cramps. The pain made her hate herself for being a woman. Later, with her powers, her physical condition improved, and she no longer felt anything during her period. As her powers advanced, her periods became less frequent, from once a month to once every two months, and finally to once every three months, much to her delight.
Thinking of this, she touched her chin: Is it because she has supernatural powers that she doesn’t have her period now?
"Is Miao bleeding?" she asked.
Ah Hua nodded: "Yes, but it happened last year." She glanced at Qiao Yu and comforted her, "Look, Miao is also so late. I guess everyone in our clan came late."
"Then can the saplings get married?" Qiao Yu got to the point.
Ah Hua didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand, took Qiao Yu's hand in her palm, and asked: "Yu, Auntie came here today just to ask you, are you really unwilling to marry Yan?"
Qiao Yu understood immediately.
It seems that Shu Miao, or perhaps Ah Hua and his wife, have taken a fancy to Yan. However, they are also concerned about her, worried that she might be unhappy, so Ah Hua came here today to get some advice.
"I told you, I won't marry. Not just Yan, I won't marry anyone." Qiao Yu stated this first, then asked excitedly, "Aunt, are you going to marry Shu Miao to Lu Yan?"
Because Qiao Yu and Lu Yan were already engaged, Ah Hua and Shu helped Shu Miao find a son-in-law, and they didn't even mention Lu Yan. It was Shu Miao who liked him and insisted on marrying him.
However, Ah Hua couldn't tell the truth, otherwise it would seem that Shu Miao was dishonest and was trying to steal her sister's man.
She nodded and said, "I think Yan is not bad, so I was thinking that if you don't like him, I can marry Miao to him. After all, he is from our valley tribe. I have watched him grow up since he was a child, so I know him well. The Lu family is also a good family. That's why I came to ask you."
"Don't worry about me. If you think it's a good idea, go ahead and ask for it." Qiao Yu said with a smile, "Let me first congratulate Uncle and Aunt on the birth of their son-in-law."
Seeing that Qiao Yu really didn't care, Ah Hua breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with Qiao Yu for a few more words, and then left.
Qiao Yu never inquired or meddled in the affairs of marriage. When she first arrived, she'd mingle with the women, grilling, and doing chores, always hearing gossip about each family. But now, she simply stopped hanging out with women, and these matters were no longer her concern. If no one approached her about it, she didn't know.
The two-day vacation passed quickly. On the third day, Qiao Yu watched everyone training. After the training, she went to the blacksmith shop next to the stone grinding workshop, and saw that the original blacksmith team members and the newly selected people were waiting for her.
As early as three days ago at the meeting, Qiao Yu assigned the tasks.
The carpentry team's holiday was postponed, and they rushed out a batch of bellows yesterday and the day before yesterday. With the bellows, she led the ironwork team to make iron pots today.
Once the iron pots are made, the salt-making team starts making salt.
The men from other teams were tasked with felling trees in the tribe and digging out the remaining stumps. Qiao Yu had chosen a spot with a large plot of land in the middle for planting. However, this land was already covered with trees of all sizes, as well as grass and vines. Last winter, the men had cleared the grass and vines, but Qiao Yu hadn't allowed them to cut down the remaining trees, as they lacked tools, time, and not much to plant in the tribe.
Now we have all the tools, enough manpower, and plenty of time. There are also a lot of things waiting to be planted after the spring, so that piece of land must be cultivated.
The breeding area should also be divided into several areas for breeding, just as Qiao Yu expected, to avoid the occurrence of plague.
Therefore, from this day on, the men who had rested for two days became busy.
