Su Xuanhe heard his mother's voice rise, sensing danger. He quickly dodged to the side and placed his broom in front of him as a shield. "Mother, it's snowing in June! If I skipped class, how could I possibly come back peacefully and still be sweeping the yard?"
Su Qingluan also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she pulled Yang's arm and said, "Mother, please don't be angry. What my brother said makes sense. Don't get angry and hurt yourself in this hot weather."
It turns out that now that the weather is getting warmer, there are children from farming families like Su Xuanhe in the school, but not all of them need to follow their family members to do work.
Especially some weak scholars who only "devote themselves to reading the books of sages", their physical fitness is naturally not as good as Su Xuanhe, who is like a monkey and spends all day climbing trees and swimming in rivers.
In such scorching heat, Master Zhou, the teacher at the school, though well-educated, was not a wealthy man. He allowed them to open the windows for some fresh air, which was enough to "relieve the heat." At most, he would prepare some mung bean soup.
The rest is just "calm down and you will feel cooler."
However, some people with weaker bodies naturally could not bear it. It was quite hot at noon and the room was stuffy, so some people suffered from heatstroke.
Su Qingluan asked curiously, "Didn't someone get heatstroke last year? I don't think you were dismissed and allowed to go home early?"
"This one's really scary," Su Xuanhe exclaimed. "He suddenly started foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over. I'd say it's heatstroke, but it doesn't seem like it. It feels more like he's been possessed by an evil spirit."
Su Qingluan muttered in her heart: Could this be an epileptic seizure?
However, this matter was just an episode. After it was explained clearly, Yang gave up the idea of rewarding her son with a meal of "braised meat on bamboo board".
But then again, Su Qingluan glanced at Su Xuanhe who was growing taller and taller, and felt that at this kid's growth rate, in two or three years, even if her brother really made a mistake, her mother might not be able to catch up with him by then.
"Mother, I'll go cook dinner with you." Su Qingluan said as she was about to go to the kitchen with Yang, but Yang put her hand on the shoulder.
"Didn't you say you had a stomachache? You should go back to your room and rest for the day!"
"But……"
"It's just a dinner. Mom can still do it. If she can't, your brother can lend a hand." This is the truth. Su Xuanhe, who is approaching ten years old, has become more sensible recently. Although he still gets into trouble occasionally, he will help with more housework.
Although he was still somewhat reluctant to go to school, he finally didn't need to be urged. Moreover, although he didn't usually say it, he was actually concerned about every family member - although his way of caring was sometimes a little strange. For example, now, after hearing Su Qingluan say that she was not feeling well, he immediately came over and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Do you want some hot water?"
...Brother, I can't respond to what you said...Thinking of the popular internet meme of "drinking hot water" in her previous life, and looking at her brother's sincere expression, Su Qingluan felt speechless.
"...Okay, if Mother boils some water, you can make me some dried ginger slices and red dates..." Isn't it said that dried ginger and red dates can dispel cold? If she really has a cold in her stomach, this cup of ginger and jujube tea should be helpful, right?
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan felt that the feeling of sinking and swelling became more and more obvious. It was really uncomfortable, so she waved her hand casually, turned and went into her room, wanting to lie down for a while, or lie down and rub her stomach to see if she could relieve this uncomfortable feeling.
As a result, before she lay down completely, she felt a warm current in her private parts, which made her suddenly realize "so that's it" - her period had come!
At this time, Su Qingluan realized belatedly that even if she calculated her age according to the method of her previous life, she should be almost fourteen years old - that is to say, in this world, on Su Qingluan's birthday this year, she should be fifteen years old and have reached adulthood.
In any case, it's time to grow up.
In fact, it is no wonder that Su Qingluan has never thought about this problem - in her previous life, due to the increasingly serious illness and the side effects of various treatments, the monthly menstrual period has become "unprecedented", and in the end it was almost non-existent.
And including the more than two years since she traveled through time, she hasn't dealt with her "old friend" menstruation for several years.
This thing is like a relative. If you don't visit for a long time, you will become more and more distant, so Su Qingluan didn't think about this aspect at all.
Fortunately, she was not completely unprepared.
Of course, this was not because Su Qingluan had foresight, but because she had Liu Yunniang, who was nearly two years older than her, by her side.
About a year ago, a little later than now, when the weather was at its hottest, Su Qingluan found that Liu Yunniang, who used to run to Huaxi Village to swim as soon as she sweated a little, was hesitant to even touch the cold water for several days, let alone swim - even though she was already sweating profusely and her face was flushed.
Su Qingluan naturally couldn't help but notice her friend's abnormal behavior, so she followed him and asked questions for a long time.
At the beginning, Liu Yunniang was hesitant and reluctant to speak, which made Su Qingluan have many terrible associations. She even held her hand with a serious face, saying that no matter what difficulties happened, she would always support Liu Yunniang.
At this time, Liu Yunniang realized that Su Qingluan had lost her mind and was so distracted that she whispered to her the whole story with a helpless smile - she was having her period during those days, so she had to be careful not to touch cold water, and as for taking a bath in the river, she should forget about it.
While Su Qingluan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she fiddled with something that would surely be difficult for Liu Yunniang to talk about, but was extremely urgent - menstrual products.
