"Spring is coming! Spring is coming! ”

The children were the first to run out of the house, shouting loudly with joy when they saw the snow and ice on the ground begin to melt.

Winter is the most annoying season for them, summer is the second, and their favorite autumn is the autumn season, where they can eat all kinds of fresh sweet and sour fruits.

You can also eat the fruits in winter, but these fruits are no longer fresh, and they are not as delicious as the freshly picked fruits.

The little ones spread the message of spring, the adults smiled when they heard it, and no one likes the cold winter.

After breakfast, the adults started to get busy, and most of the adults were busy cleaning up their homes to clean up the filth of the winter.

There are also a small number of adults who are not in a hurry to clean up the house, they lead the children to the bathhouse, a pot of hot water has been boiled, and then mixed with some cold water, hot and cold evenly, just suitable for bathing.

The tradition of taking a cold bath on the first day of spring has been abolished, taking a cold bath is just a limited condition to have to take a cold bath, and so on after the pottery was produced in large quantities, Su Yan was the first to start taking a hot bath, and then let the tribesmen change their habits, taking a cool bath in summer is OK, and taking a cold bath in winter just past, this water is still cold, and it is easy to get sick.

It is important to note that men and women bathe separately, with men leading boys and women taking girls, and if a family can bathe together, but if there are multiple families, they must be separated.

On the one hand, it is the rule set by Su Yan, and on the other hand, it is the primitive people's own thoughts, the rule of "you can't stare at the body of a different surname at will" has existed as early as the time of the snake tribe, when the conditions were poor, men and women were all bathing by the river, even so, men and women would not stare at each other, except for spouses.

If one man stares at the body of another man's spouse, Guolu, it will definitely cause a fight.

In the primitive era, the concept of shame also existed, if there was no concept of shame, the summer was so hot, simply did not wear anything, and used the circle or two of plant leaves to wrap the important parts of their body to do something.

Shame is a very important difference between humans and animals.

Since the total population of the Dragon Tribe has exceeded three thousand, it is impossible for the bathhouse to accommodate so many people at once, so it can only be assigned to take a bath.

Cleaning the house where you live, tidying up the dragon tribe's residence, and taking a shower to wash away the dirt accumulated on your body during the winter, I feel clean from the inside out.

The first day of spring passed like this.

On the second day of spring, fishing, hunting, and height measurement.

Shen Hesong led the fishing team to the big river to fish, and Yuan Hebiao led the hunting team to go out hunting, and the work of obtaining food was often carried out at the beginning of the year.

The rest of the clan also needs to be busy, busy with tomorrow's sacrifice.

"Brother, let's go, let's go measure the height of the children." Xiao Yue took Su Yan in one hand and her sister in the other, and walked towards the temple.

The house where Su Yan lived was relatively close to the temple, and as soon as he got out of the house, he saw children walking towards the temple in groups of three or five, and looking into the distance, there were already hundreds of children gathered in front of the temple, and they were waiting for adults to measure their height, this task was mainly carried out by several Wu disciples or several patriarchs.

Measuring height has an extraordinary meaning for children, the adult standard for men is five feet, and the standard for women is four feet seven inches, as long as they reach this height, they are considered adults.

Adulthood means that they no longer need to stay in the place of residence, they can follow the fishing team to fish, they can follow the hunting team to hunt, the residence is so big, they have to be watched by adults inside and outside the planting area, and when they are adults, they don't need other adults to watch, they can use their own eyes to see the wonderful world outside.

Su Yan knows that there is a problem with judging whether people are adults by height, primitive people are relatively tall, the average height of adult men is six feet, and the average height of adult women is five feet seven inches, under normal circumstances, both men and women can reach the adult standard in about twelve years.

Twelve (week) years old, put in modern or ancient times are just teenagers and girls, the mind is not mature, too early contact with the outside world is not good, premature birth of children will also affect women's health, the primitive era of women life expectancy is not high, premature birth of offspring is one of the main reasons.

It is only because of the high mortality rate in the primitive era that the standard of adulthood is lowered.

Height can indeed be used as one of the criteria for whether a person is an adult, but this standard can be raised, the standard of male adulthood can be raised to 5 feet 3 inches, and the adult standard of women can be raised to 5 feet.

In addition, age should be introduced as the standard of adulthood, there may be some children who are born stunted than their peers, and when their peers are adults, they will have to wait three years or more to reach adulthood, which can easily affect their emotions and psychology.

According to Su Yan's idea, the adult standard for men is 5 feet 3 inches, and the adult standard for women is 5 feet.

The new adult standard will be officially implemented after the city is built, and the implementation of the new standard will reduce the number of adults in the dragon tribe each year, but it will not have much impact on the dragon tribe, even if they are underage, they will have to work.

Some thoughts flashed in Su Yan's mind, and while thinking, the three of them had already arrived in front of the temple, Xiao Yue let go of her hand and walked towards the gods and demons, and after a while, she took out two rulers made of wood, both of which were seven feet long, and made an obvious mark at the position of five feet and four feet seven inches respectively, which was used to judge whether the boy and girl were adults.

Xiao Yue stuffed the ruler that measured the boy's height into Su Yan's hand, and pulled her sister to the other side, and said to Su Yan as she walked: "Brother, you will measure the boy's height, and my sister and I will measure the girl's height." ”

Looking at the wooden ruler in his hand, Su Yan was very speechless, Su Yan had even seen Zhi, Mu, and Xin in the distance coming this way, originally they came to measure the height of the children, but now Su Yan was pulled by Xiaoyue and robbed them of their affairs.

Syllable! Syllable!

Xiao Yue slapped her palms twice, then raised her voice and said to the children in front of her: "Everyone line up, come one by one, the girl will come to my side, and the boy will go to the king's side." ”

Hearing Satsuki's words, the children began to line up, and since there were too many children, Satsuki asked the children to line up in four lines, two teams on each side, and the children who wanted to determine whether they were adults stood in the front, and the children who wanted to measure their height and how far away from adults stood in the back.

The children were very obedient, and even because it was Su Yan who came to measure their height, they were very happy and proud, and it was the first time they saw the king they admired to measure their height, and the seniors did not have this treatment.
