After returning home, Ah Hua worked tirelessly to develop sanitary napkins.
All matters in the bakery were handed over to Axiong, and with the help of Aunt Azhu, Ahua finally succeeded in making the first sanitary napkin in Daqin in February.
"Auntie Zhu, we succeeded!"
The confident girl was like a bright sunflower. She hugged the woman and cheered, tears of excitement in her eyes.
"Well, Ah Hua is amazing!"
Aunt Azhu touched her furry head with a relieved smile on her face.
She has long regarded the two siblings as her own children. They have each achieved something, and as an elder, she is naturally proud of them.
"Hehe...By the way, I have to tell my sister this good news right away!"
Faced with the compliment, Ah Hua was shy for a few seconds, and then couldn't wait to share it with her sister.
So she excitedly called Uncle Li and took a carriage to the palace.
I completely forgot about my brother who was busy and confused.
But when Ah Hua arrived at Qinian Palace, she was told by the palace servants that her sister was in Zhangtai Palace.
After hesitating for a few moments, she decided to go directly to her elder sister.
At this time in the Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng was reviewing memorials, while Chu Yuening was holding her baby and learning to read simplified Chinese characters.
The baby has already learned the small seal script and most of the simplified Chinese characters. No one would have thought that this baby with saliva still hanging from the corners of his mouth has already mastered both languages.
"Huh? It's Auntie."
Ying Zhao was multitasking and caught a glimpse of Ah Hua at the door from a distance.
"Um?"
Chu Yuening looked up in confusion and saw Ah Hua slowly approaching and bowing.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Hurry up, you, you've been here so many times and you're still being polite?"
Chu Yuening scolded, she had long regarded the brother and sister as family.
Ah Hua pursed her lips shyly, but her almond eyes were still filled with persistence.
Even though she is doted on by her elder sister, she cannot lose her manners in the solemn Zhangtai Palace.
As the elder sister's younger sister, you must be more careful in what you say and do to protect your elder sister's reputation so as to avoid the palace people gossiping about you behind her back.
"Sister, I have developed sanitary napkins."
"So fast? Ah Hua is really clever and skillful!"
Chu Yuening looked surprised, then praised generously.
She took the snow-white object and looked at it carefully. The whole material was made of soft paper, cotton and gum, and was soft and skin-friendly.
It is very simple compared to modern ones, but it can replace the menstrual belt and will be gradually updated and iterated.
"Baby, can you go and accompany father to look at the memorials? Mother and aunt have something to discuss."
"Okay."
Ying Zhao was very sensible. After kissing his mother on the face, he ran towards his father in small steps.
"Father, hug me!"
"Well, be quiet. Father needs to take care of some official business."
"Okay, Zhao Zhao is very good!"
When the little guy is not making a fuss, his well-behaved and sensible appearance is still very endearing. A smile appeared in Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes.
After picking up the kid and placing him on his lap, he continued to deal with memorials.
Ying Zhao held up his chubby little face and looked at his father in admiration as he wrote on the paper with vigorous and majestic handwriting.
My father’s handwriting is so beautiful!
When will I be able to hold a brush?
The little guy looked at the soft little hands with melancholy and sighed, which made his old father smile slightly.
The father and son, who looked similar, sat upright, and the space was filled with silent warmth.
On the other side, Chu Yuening sat upright, staring seriously into Ah Hua's almond-shaped eyes.
"Ahua, what do you want to do in the future? Or what kind of person do you want to be?"
"What? I...I don't know..."
Ah Hua's eyes were confused. She had never thought about this question, and no one had ever asked her this question.
It seems that women's lives are just about bearing children and doing housework, and no one cares what they want to do.
"So what would make you truly happy? Would running a bakery be one?"
Chu Yuening continued to guide patiently.
She hopes that Ah Hua will have a clear and independent soul, rather than being someone's dependent.
The awakening of women's consciousness has never happened overnight. Even in modern times, it has taken countless women's independent struggles full of bitterness and tears.
All Chu Yuening can do now is to provide more jobs for women and improve their economic treatment so that they can have a certain voice and social status.
As for the awakening of women's consciousness, she wants to start with Ahua, and she believes that Ahua will not let her down.
"Sister, I'm very happy that you developed sanitary napkins and did a good thing for the women of Daqin."
"I don't want to get married. I want to live for myself. I also hope that women all over the world can choose their own lives."
Ah Hua didn't like doing business. At first she just wanted to repay her sister's kindness.
But now, sister's question hit her heart.
She thought of her mother, who had been trapped in the inner chambers for the first half of her life and died an innocent death in the second half. She also thought of her father, who favored sons over daughters and was unkind and ungrateful...
Ah Hua once complained about her identity as a woman, but since she met Ah Jie, she has been relieved...
What about women?
Women can also shine and not be inferior to others.
"Ahua, would you be willing to be the director of the sanitation factory?"
The reborn girl blossomed with her own light, and Chu Yuening's eyes were full of relief.
She had already ordered people to build a sanitary factory, mainly producing sanitary napkins, toilet paper, diapers and other sanitary products, and the position of factory director was prepared for Ahua.
Although Ah Hua is still young, she is smart and capable, so Chu Yuening is confident in handing over the sanitation factory to her.
"Sister, I do!"
