Hearing this, Zhuang Yongliang looked puzzled, "Are you sick?"

"You're the one who's sick!"

Bai Ying said unhappily.

Zhuang Yongliang's eyes twitched at the scolding. He was already in his twenties, and it was not right for him to argue with Bai Ying, a young girl who had just come of age. His cold tone was a little unnatural, "Then why did you go to the hospital if you were not sick? If it's just a small matter like buying medicine, the brigade clinic can take care of it."

Bai Ying was displeased when she heard Zhuang Yongliang's questioning style, and she didn't speak politely. "Is it possible that I'm the barefoot doctor in our brigade clinic? Isn't it normal for me to go to the county hospital to get some equipment?"

Zhuang Yongliang: "..."

A little bit unconvinced.

Although he had only been in contact with Bai Ying for a short time, he had somehow figured out her temper. Her personality had nothing to do with gentleness and kindness. She didn't look like a doctor who saved lives at all. He even believed her when she said she was the suspect who had beaten someone up.

Bai Ying didn't care whether Zhuang Yongliang believed it or not, nor was she afraid that Zhuang Yongliang would run away with the flour she bought. After all, the other party was a policeman from the County Public Security Bureau. She heard those policemen call him Deputy Director Zhuang, so it was obvious that he was a high-ranking official. So she was even less afraid of him running away. After all, the monk can run away, but the temple cannot.

Sitting on the bicycle, Bai Ying rode out of the black market and headed towards the county hospital.

Zhuang Yongliang could only catch up on his bike.

Bai Ying had been studying in the county town for several years and was quite familiar with the road conditions there. After turning a few corners, she arrived at the county hospital.

Taking advantage of the fact that the hospital staff had not yet finished their get off work at noon, Bai Ying quickly parked her car at the door and headed towards the outpatient department.

Zhuang Yongliang stopped the car immediately afterwards.

Seeing Zhuang Yongliang was about to follow her in, Bai Ying quickly stopped him and said, "Why are you following me? There are still things in the car, and someone has to stay behind to watch over it."

Zhuang Yongliang always felt that Bai Ying was up to something, so he naturally didn't want to follow Bai Ying's arrangements. "Then give me the money and I'll buy it for you. You stay and look at the car."

Bai Ying immediately laughed, "Zhuang Gongan, do you have a bad memory? I just told you that I'm the barefoot doctor of the brigade. There are some things the hospital will only sell to me, not to you."

“…”

Two blushes quickly appeared on Zhuang Yongliang's jade-white face, and even his handsome and three-dimensional facial features were stained with a hint of red, which made his previously deliberately stern expression melt a lot, as if the earth was melting with ice and snow and returning to spring, and the distance between him and others was shortened in an instant.

Bai Ying couldn't help but look at Zhuang Yongliang again.

He is so handsome that he can be a male model, but he insists on relying on his skills to make a living. It turns out that all the good-looking people have been handed over to the country.

However, Chen Ao's appearance and personality are more to her liking. Few women can stand Zhuang Yongliang's doctrinaire behavior.

"Then go quickly and come back soon." Zhuang Yongliang was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say for a moment. Not wanting the atmosphere to become more awkward, he had to turn his face away and urged.

Bai Ying rushed to the hospital without saying a word.

She and Zhou Li had come to the county hospital for training before. Later, after she became a barefoot doctor, she came here once again to buy medicine and equipment on behalf of the brigade. It can be said that she is very familiar with the hospital.

"Hello, comrade. I am a barefoot doctor from the Liushu Brigade. Here is my rural doctor qualification certificate and the brigade's letter of certification. I lost a thermometer and want to buy a new one." Bai Ying came to the medicine window and said to the young nurse sitting inside.

The young nurse didn't make things difficult for Bai Ying. She checked Bai Ying's letter of certification and qualification certificate, confirmed Bai Ying's identity, and handed Bai Ying a thermometer. "Here, three yuan and twenty cents."

Bai Ying counted out the corresponding amount of money and handed it to the sorcerer. She stuffed the thermometer into her bag, still not intending to leave. She took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "I...that..."

Seeing Bai Ying's hesitation, the nurse patiently asked, "Comrade, what else do you want?"

Bai Ying resisted the urge to turn around and run, trying her best to remain calm. "Um, does the hospital sell condoms?"

“!!!”

The nurse's face immediately turned red. "Why did you buy this?"

Bai Ying coughed lightly and said with a somewhat unnatural expression, "I got married some time ago, and I still want to continue serving the people and be a good barefoot doctor in the brigade, so I don't want to have children for the time being."

Upon hearing this, the young nurse looked at Bai Ying with a look of immediate respect. There are not many female comrades in the countryside who are so conscious!

"Wait, I'll go ask our head nurse."

After the young nurse left, Bai Ying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Unlike in later generations where condoms are placed at the checkout counters of supermarkets and you can just pick one up when you check out, buying condoms these days is really inconvenient.

But even if it’s inconvenient, you have to buy it!

Although her menstrual period is regular and her safe period can be roughly calculated, it cannot be guaranteed to be safe. She has just become an adult and does not want to have a child at this time. She still has to wait for the college entrance examination to be relaxed and to develop her career after the reform and opening up... There are too many things she wants to do.

After finally being reborn, Bai Ying was determined to pick up everything she missed in her previous life!

Not to mention that she actually doesn't like children. In her previous life, she helped the Lin family raise so many nephews and nieces, from raising them with great difficulty to helping them with their homework in school... Bai Ying was tortured to the point that her head was about to explode. As a result, now whenever she hears a child crying, she gets a splitting headache and wants to die.

In addition to preventing pregnancy, condoms can also largely prevent women from contracting gynecological diseases. It's not that Bai Ying doesn't trust Chen Ao, but the cervix will open before and after menstruation, making it easier for bacteria to enter, so it's better to be safe.

Bai Ying cherishes her life very much as she has finally gotten one. She doesn't want to die before the age of fifty like in her previous life.

While Bai Ying's mind was full of thoughts, the little nurse came back with a sealed small box.

"Here's a box of 20."

Bai Ying subconsciously asked, "Is that all?"

She had never used this thing before, and Shen Ao certainly hadn't used it either. Both of them were unskilled, so most of them would probably be scrapped at the beginning, and the rest would be gone soon.

The young nurse was not married yet. When Bai Ying asked her this, her already red face turned even redder. "You, you can come back and get it next time after you finish using it!"

"Okay, how much?"

"No, it's free!" The young nurse waved her hand and said, "The higher-ups are trying to strengthen family planning, so this stuff is free anyway. Besides, when I mentioned you to the head nurse, she remembered you and said you'd been trained at our county hospital before. I didn't expect you to get married so soon, and to receive so much all at once..."

As she spoke, the young nurse glanced at Bai Ying sheepishly, "The head nurse asked me to tell you that you're quite good at choosing men. He's quite strong even after using so many condoms at once!"
