Lin Ping was in class, Yu Mengfei ran over, and then called Lin Ping out: "Principal Lin, do me a favor, I need to buy brown sugar." ”

"Brown sugar?"

"Yes, brown sugar water, this schoolgirl needs to drink some brown sugar water. Yu Mengfei said. "I want you to help me buy it, Yi Peng and I are new to the city, we don't know each other, I don't even know where there is a store nearby, and I don't know the other teachers very well, I'm embarrassed to speak, so I want to ask you to buy it." ”

Then, Yu Mengfei paused for a moment and continued with some embarrassment: "In addition to buying brown sugar, bring two packs of sanitary napkins by the way, and give them to that girl, I found out that mine has also run out......"

Lin Ping was stunned for a moment, touched his head and said truthfully: "To be honest, I am not familiar with the surroundings. In this way, let's go and ask Aunt Feng about them. ”

The two came to the room, Feng Chunxiu and several of their women were talking and laughing about cooking in a hurry, and now the manpower in the room is completely sufficient, which greatly reduces Feng Chunxiu's cooking pressure and will not delay the teachers' teaching time.

"Aunt Feng," Lin Ping shouted, "Do you have brown sugar here?"

Feng Chunxiu walked over and asked, "What is it?"

"Brown sugar. Lin Ping said.

Feng Chunxiu shook his head: "No, what's wrong?

Lin Ping glanced at Yu Mengfei, so Yu Mengfei walked up and explained with a smile: "There is a girl who comes to that, her stomach hurts a little, and she needs to drink brown sugar water." ”

The communication between women is still very tacit, although Yu Mengfei said it very vaguely, but Feng Chunxiu immediately understood what it meant, and said with a smile: "There is really no brown sugar, or I will buy it." ”

Yu Mengfei nodded and agreed: "Okay, then please Aunt Feng." ”

Then, Yu Mengfei asked again: "By the way, Aunt Feng, do you have any sanitary napkins?" Give me one first, I'll use it for the student, and when you go to buy brown sugar, you can help me buy two packs of sanitary napkins by the way." ”

Feng Chunxiu asked with a puzzled expression: "What is a sanitary napkin? I know toilet paper." ”

Yu Mengfei was stunned for a moment and said, "It's what our women used when they came there." ”

At this time, a woman next to her, Shi Honglin, Zhao Zhongyi's wife, said with a big grin: "I know what sanitary napkins are, but we don't need that in this poor place, we don't have that habit, what kind of sanitary napkins do we use, it's a waste of money, just fold it with toilet paper or cotton cloth and stuff it in the crotch of our pants." ”

"Big sister, let me tell you, we don't sell sanitary napkins in this commissary, if you want to buy them, you have to buy them in the store in the town. Shi Honglin continued.

Yu Mengfei said helplessly: "Then that girl ......"

Another woman said, "You can just use toilet paper, fold it thicker and put it in your pants, and use it the same." ”

So, a group of women talked and laughed about this matter, and Lin Ping, who was standing on the side, was embarrassed. However, listening to their conversation, Lin Ping was thoughtful.

What surprised Yu Mengfei even more was that these women in the mountains did not use sanitary napkins, out of tradition, out of habit, and more importantly, out of money, they did not have the habit of using sanitary napkins.

Feng Chunxiu went to buy brown sugar, and the two walked out of the room, Yu Mengfei looked like she was not awake, and said to herself: "Then I have to go to town, and my eldest aunt will be here in a few days......"

At this time, Lin Ping asked with some curiosity: "Teacher Yu, let me ask you something, don't you women use sanitary napkins every day?"

Yu Mengfei glanced at Lin Ping speechlessly: "Of course not!"

Lin Ping suddenly realized: "Oh, I always thought that you women had to use sanitary napkins every day for three hundred and sixty-five days." ”

Yu Mengfei couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lin Ping's words, and said a little speechlessly: "You live so big, don't you even know this? This thing is usually only used by women for a few days." ”

"Oooh. Lin Ping said with a serious face, "Teacher Yu, you are trying to answer a huge doubt. ”

Yu Mengfei covered her face with her hands and laughed speechlessly.

Lin Ping continued: "Teacher Yu, let me ask you another question, how old do you girls usually get menstruation?"

Yu Mengfei said: "Why are you asking this?"

But he still answered Lin Ping's doubts: "Generally speaking, girls are around 11 or 12 years old, it seems that there will be a gap between different regions and different economic conditions, I remember reading the relevant information before, urban girls generally menstruate a few months more than rural girls, which also means that urban girls are more precocious." Just the girl in your class just now, she only had her first menstrual period when she was 15 years old this year, because the living conditions were too poor and her development was slow, and she didn't have that consciousness and was not prepared. ”

"Oooh. Lin Ping thought for a while and said, "11 or 12 years old, that is, the fifth or sixth grade, in this way, Teacher Yu, you can see if you can give a separate physiological hygiene class to the fifth, sixth, first, second, and third grade girls from the fifth grade." Tell them something about that aspect of physical hygiene. ”

After hearing this, Yu Mengfei nodded in agreement: "I think this should be done, their physiological and hygienic conditions are really bad." By the way, you say they don't even need sanitary napkins, how can that?"

Then Yu Mengfei continued: "The use of sanitary napkins can greatly reduce the probability of girls suffering from gynecological diseases, effectively ensure the physiological health safety of girls, and make them cleaner and more hygienic. ”

Lin Ping thought about it and said with some embarrassment: "Then you can popularize it for them and let them use sanitary napkins, there is nothing to sell in the mountains now, when the time comes, our commissary will be built, and the sale of sanitary napkins will be included in a major event." ”

Yu Mengfei said: "However, I heard them mean that sanitary napkins are expensive. ”

Lin Ping asked rhetorically: "How much is a pack of sanitary napkins, is it expensive?

Yu Mengfei said: "It's almost three or five yuan, and it's a little better than a dozen yuan, and I have to use more than thirty yuan a month?"

Lin Ping thought for a while and muttered: "More than 30 yuan is indeed a bit expensive for Kushan, the main thing is that they don't have this habit, spending more than 30 yuan to buy sanitary napkins, most people in the mountains definitely can't accept it." And most people in the mountains are very patriarchal, if you say that for the sake of boys' physical health, spend 30 yuan a month to buy sanitary napkins for boys, most parents will definitely agree. But if you want to spend 30 yuan to buy sanitary napkins for girls, most parents will hardly agree. ”

Yu Mengfei listened to Lin Ping's muttering, she also knew that this was the truth, the poorer the place, the more serious the patriarchal thinking, and the patriarchal thinking of women was even more serious than that of men, it was really why women should bother women. Yu Mengfei sighed helplessly and said, "Then what should I do? Continue to let the girls in the school continue the tradition in the mountains? Use toilet paper and cotton cloth?"

Lin Ping breathed a long sigh of relief, thought for a while and said: "No, this is a major matter related to the children's physiological health, if we can change the disadvantages and change their bad lifestyles, then we must find a way to change." ”
