Ah Mao asked me for a few cloth bags, which are used to wrap dry flowers as sachets, the weather has been very humid recently, the whole room is filled with a breath of moisture, and the clothes on the body feel that there are a few catties of moisture hidden.

I'm going to add osmanthus to the sachet and give it to Su Wei.

Before I entered Su Wei's room, I smelled a smell of rotting corpses coming from the room, I looked through the door, Su Wei saw me wandering outside the door, she quickly stuffed a cotton strip under the bed, at this time, the red behind her skirt frightened me.

"Mother, your back is dyed red." I quickly walked up behind Su Wei and pointed it out to her.

"It's okay, it's okay, Qijun, take the young lady out." Su Wei's eyes gestured to the Seven Monarchs.

"Qijun, my mother is bleeding, hurry up and seek medical treatment." I took Qijun's hand.

"Miss, don't make a fuss, this is a menstrual affair, and every woman must go through it." Seven Monarchs sighed.

"Menstruation? What is it? I looked at her quizzically.

"We can't explain these physiological phenomena either, we bleed every month and don't die from blood loss."

"Will men do too?" I continued to ask.

"Compared to men, they don't have to go through that." Qijun said.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"You're underage, and some women will be early."

I'm really curious about this phenomenon, and that's what explains what happened that day.

When I went to look for Jin'er, I accidentally saw Jin'er make some strange movements through the projection of the door curtain, which should be when she was exchanged for tampons, and once she got up and stared at the chair, subconsciously touching the back of her skirt with her hand.

I took the opportunity to sneak into Su Wei's room and rummage around, and saw that there were many boxes of tampons in the drawers of the cabinet, I took out one piece at random and touched it with my hand, it turned out to be a very soft texture.

It turns out that this is the tampon that women use.

In Ziyang, there is still a big deviation from the traditional concept of women, they firmly believe that women's menstrual affairs are a kind of dirty gods, in addition to not having sex with their husbands, they can't participate in traditional worship.

Su Wei was very reluctant for me to ask about such things, and I only learned many things through Qijun.

I remember that day Ah Mao taught me calligraphy practice.

Suddenly I felt unwell, my mind was swollen and unconscious, my stomach seemed to be dropped by a heavy fist, I thought I had eaten something bad last night, only to find that the bottom of the skirt was dyed red, up to the inside.

Oh, my God! I'm on my menstrual period!

The room was filled with the smell of dead bodies.

I sat down in my chair and twisted it, thinking to myself how I was going to open my mouth to Ah Mao.

"Xining, hand in the notebook tomorrow." Ah Mao Chang cleaned up the things on the table.

"Okay." I got up slightly, faced him, and rushed to the door.

"Be careful, what's the hurry?" Mao shouted.

I rushed into Su Wei's room, opened the drawer with the tampon, and looked at it repeatedly, studying how to use it.

Do I want to use it, and how do I use it? Will you get a skirt if you don't use it?

I got up, picked up the tampon again, looked back and forth, left and right, and used it anyway.

I went to the toilet, closed the door, pressed the button to lock the door, turned on the water switch, twisted the tap water to the maximum, and listened to the sound of the water so that they didn't know the sound of me tearing the tampon.

I first tore open the adhesive tape of the tampon, and watched it slowly be opened by me, and the cotton pad inside gradually revealed a pure white shadow, and there was a blue core in the middle, which smelled faintly fragrant. After opening it, I put it directly on the bottom of the jacket, put the tampon on it, and I stepped left and right, looking for the most comfortable position, but I didn't expect it to be quite comfortable.

At this time, Su Wei returned.

She started calling my name from the first step up the stairs: "Sissy! ”

It wasn't until after the last flight of the stairs that I could hear her panting. When I heard this, I immediately put on my shoes and ran to the door, and I put my ear to the door and deliberately asked her, "Who are you?" Where did it come from? ”

"You little one, it's me." In the crack in the door, Su Wei blinked one eye, her mouth and nose squeezed together, and smiled at me.

After dinner, I took Su Wei's hand and went into the room, and she saw that I was so mysterious and clever, and asked me all the way what was going on.

"Mother, tell you something." I craned my shoulders and whispered.

"What's wrong? God mysterious. Su Wei stroked my hair.

"I seem to have a menstrual period." I put my mouth close to Su Wei's ear and put my hands around her ear.

"Huh? Is there a tampon? Su Wei suddenly pulled me back to see if the back of my body was dyed red.

"I've used it." With that, I took out the tampon from there.

Seeing this, Su Wei immediately stuffed the tampon into her clothes to cover it, looking left and right.

"Don't let anyone else see it, it's not a thing to see the light." Su Wei vaguely pulled out a few tampons for me.

"The coming menstrual event proves that you are already an adult, once a month, and you will come for a few days at a time, you have to remember what day it is, so that you can prepare." Su Wei wrapped her hands around my hands, stroked the back of my hand, and told me a lot about menstruation.

After a few days, my tampon is still only a little bloodshot, how does Qijun describe the full red stripe? By the time the fifth day arrived, the blood was gone.

Su Wei found a new school for me, and I sat at the last table, and the girl sitting next to me was called Lu Qiluo.

In the days leading up to the menstrual period, I had already prepared the tampons.

When class was about to start, many of my classmates had already come in one after another, and the man sitting next to me suddenly took out a cotton strip from his drawer, held it up, and stood up and shouted loudly, "Whose is this?" ”

After saying that, all eyes were on him.

I reached into the drawer with a trembling hand, rummaging through it so quickly that I couldn't touch it.

Worst! The piece in his hand is mine, what should I do, do I want to admit it, or don't want it, pretend it's not mine.

"It's Gu Xining!" The man pointed at me.

"No, it's not mine, he's a liar." Then everyone's eyes turned to me.

"It's really not mine." I looked at Kira, my hands swinging.

"Not hers!" Kira hugged me.

The division commanders were throwing each other around, one man took the tampon and threw it at the other man, and in the process of flying, the tampon was torn open by the impact, and the other boy tore the tampon and stepped on the ground, and then picked it up and threw it.

One of the men picked up the tampon and put it on a woman's back, and the girls were crying.

Mr. Whitebeard walked in from the crowd, pointed at the division commander and said, "Do you know shame? ”

Suddenly I was overwhelmed by the crowd, and the gossip in the crowd drowned me so fast that I couldn't breathe.

"What the hell is going on?" Mr. Whitebeard looked at me with a kind smile in his seriousness.

"I don't know." I replied lightly.

I turned my head to look at the man, and when he saw my crying red eyes, as if he was very scared, he suddenly stopped smiling and became serious.

"I'm telling you, you can't live, this is the granddaughter of the Gu family, Gu Xining." Another man whispered to him.

"I picked it up from the ground, and it happened to be in her place." He pointed to the spot at the foot of my chair.

"No matter who it is, you can't do this to a woman, let alone throw such a vulgar thing around! I'll give me a review tomorrow. Mr. Whitebeard pointed at the man.

The man took the initiative to apologize to me, I turned my head to look at the man, I stared at him with my eyes, so that I felt despair in my eyes, his eyes begged me for forgiveness all the time, in this world, there is nothing more pitiful than apologizing.

Later, the news reached the ears of the lawyer, and I don't know where the man had gone, and I hadn't seen him since that day. Many people shy away from me, saying that I was "eating people" behind my back.

My menstrual affair is coming, this time it is the same as last month, there is still only blood, Su Wei said that it is a normal phenomenon.

When I ate crucian carp for dinner, I got stuck in my throat, and I could feel that the fish bone was very long and sharp, and when I swallowed my saliva, I felt that the spine was even deeper. Jin'er told me that it was okay to swallow the rice in a big gulp, but I still couldn't swallow the fish bones.

Qijun gave me a glass of vinegar, and people said that vinegar melts fish bones.

"Drink it." Su Wei brought it to me.

I could smell the sour and astringent smell when I leaned my nose against the cup, and I swallowed it in one gulp, and my whole mind was drowned in sour vinegar, and in an instant all my facial features were crowded together, so sour that I couldn't swallow it, and the fish bones were still there, proving that this legend was false.

Eventually, Ah Mao gave me an apple and took my fish bones into his stomach.

Because of this cup of vinegar, my menstrual affairs have become normal since then.

That night, all I could see was blood on my underwear, dark brown in color, I was stunned, why was it so much suddenly, thinking back to the vinegar I drank today, it was really because of that cup of vinegar, I saw the red tampons that Qijun said.

As usual, I didn't change the tampons I used that night, and went straight to the school.

When I was in class, I felt a surge coming from below, and when I was sitting, I moved backwards, and a blood stain was scratched on the chair, and I immediately looked up at my husband, and I took off a coat from my upper body, tied it around my waist, and tied it in a knot.

Finally, when Ah Mao came to pick me up, he went home.

"Xining, I'm going home." Ah Mao called me at the door.

"Come here!" I leaned on the table and looked at him.

"What's wrong? Uncomfortable? Ah Mao ran over quickly.

"I'm dyed red!" I buried my head in my hands.

Later, Ah Mao Chang escorted me to the car, and the car was covered with blood marks.

I finally know what a full "blood bar" looks like.

During the week of menstruation, I had to wake up very early and sleep very carefully, because if I was not careful, I would roll over on my side, and when I woke up in the morning, one side of my body was almost paralyzed.

After Qijun washes me up, I have to change the tampons myself.

I closed the door tightly, and in order not to be red, I tied a silk scarf to my eyes, and everything in front of me seemed to be surrounded by a layer of mist. I lowered my head and looked at my undershirt, and saw a full "blood bar", but that color, only a little darker than the red fog.

The next few months were like a tsunami.

Had to sit in a chair all morning and soiled my skirt several times.

There is no door to the toilet in the study, and several gray walls are separated by partitions. Together, the slightly taller senior sister can see her head.

In order to avoid this embarrassment of going back and forth, I chose not to go.

Later, I came up with a way to not have to change the tampons all morning.

I took out three cotton slivers and laid them out one after the other, so that they would be thickened and would not leak.

When Ah Mao came to pick me up, he had already prepared clothes for me to change in the car.

I'm afraid to see red, it's like blood flowing in the human body, the warmer it is, the more real it is.

It wasn't until I grew up that I was no longer afraid of the "process".
