"Comrade, what do you want to do? Prescribe cotton wool and gauze? Where are you injured? Let me see!"

At the county hospital, the old doctor in a white coat couldn't help but raise his eyelids and look over the top of his glasses when he heard that the patient didn't tell him about his condition but only asked him to prescribe cotton wool and gauze.

"Doctor, I'm not injured. I just want to prepare some cotton wool and gauze at home. Sometimes I accidentally cut my hands while cooking, and I need to use cotton wool to stop the bleeding. Yes, I also need some iodine for disinfection." Jiang Yuehan, she just wanted to buy cotton wool and gauze, but the hospital required her to register first and get a prescription from the doctor.

So Jiang Yue made an appointment, but the doctor was so responsible that he insisted on seeing where she was injured.

After hearing what Jiang Yue said, the doctor immediately scolded her, "Why are you coming to the hospital when you are not sick or injured? Can't you buy some cotton gauze at the pharmacy?"

"Pharmacy?" Jiang Yue was confused for a moment, then he remembered, yes, there were state-owned pharmacies in that era. Generally speaking, if ordinary people had a headache or fever, they could go to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

She was stupid!

"I'm sorry, doctor, I didn't remember! I'm leaving now!" Jiang Yue was about to leave dejectedly with the basket of vegetables.

"Come back!" The old doctor called Jiang Yue again.

Jiang Yue looked back fearfully, wondering if the old doctor was going to scold her again.

"You look so bad, lady? Are you having an attack? Give me your hand!" The old doctor's glasses slipped down his nose and he waved at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue: “…Yes, he’s coming.” Can you tell from that?

"Stick out your tongue so I can see it!" After taking Jiang Yue's pulse, the old doctor thought for a while and asked her to stick out her tongue again.

Jiang Yue just made an appointment casually. She didn't even see clearly which department the doctor was from. She didn't expect that she would be seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The old doctor could tell at a glance that her period had come.

"Doctor, can you tell from feeling my pulse if there is any congestion in my body?" Jiang Yue hit her head a month ago and has not gone for a checkup since she returned. Although she didn't feel any discomfort, she asked since she was in the hospital today.

"Comrade, your physical condition is pretty good. There's no major problem, except that you have weak qi and blood. You should eat less cold food and soak your feet more before going to bed." The old doctor looked at Jiang Yue a few more times while speaking.

"Then do I need to take medicine?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Do you have stomach pain during your period?" The old doctor motioned for Jiang Yue to stretch out her hand again and put her hand on her wrist to feel her pulse.

"It hurts, I feel uncomfortable, and I feel weak all over." Jiang Yue had suffered from dysmenorrhea in her previous life, and it hurt so much that she had to take painkillers.

Later, her grandmother took her to see an old Chinese doctor, and she took Chinese medicine for a long time before she got better.

"I'll prescribe some medicine for you to boil and take at home. Come back when you're clean!" The old doctor quickly wrote out the prescription.

Jiang Yue licked her face and asked, "Then doctor, can you also prescribe me some cotton wool and gauze?"

The old doctor glanced at Jiang Yue and snorted, but he still wrote cotton wool and gauze on the prescription.

Jiang Yue asked again: "Can you prescribe a few more packs of cotton wool?"

"Why did you prescribe so many cotton pads, female comrade?" This time the old doctor was not so easy to talk to.

No matter how Jiang Yue tried to persuade the old doctor, he refused to prescribe more cotton wool for her. She had no choice but to take the prescription and pay for the medicine.

While waiting in line to get medicine at the Chinese medicine pharmacy, Jiang Yue looked at the small bag of cotton wool the size of a palm in her hand and decided to go to the drugstore later.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue bought some cotton wool and gauze at the drugstore. Although there were not many, they were much larger than the small bag in the hospital.

After returning to the family compound, Jiang Yue first went to Mrs. Zhao's house to pick up Ningning, and the first thing she did when she got home was to go to the toilet.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Ningning asked curiously when she saw Jiang Yue sitting there cutting cloth as soon as she came back.

"Make a sanitary napkin." Jiang Yue's hands did not stop. She cut an old piece of unwanted clothes, then folded some toilet paper and put it on the sanitary napkin, then covered it with cotton wool, and finally covered it with a layer of gauze and sewed it up with needle and thread.

A simple version of sanitary napkin is ready.

Jiang Yue also had a sudden idea. She originally wanted to use ordinary cotton to make sanitary napkins, but ordinary cotton has not been sterilized and is easy to breed bacteria, so she thought it would be more appropriate to use medicated cotton.

But she didn't expect that cotton pads were so difficult to buy. The ones she bought from the hospital and the pharmacy were only enough for her to make four sanitary napkins.

Jiang Yue carefully folded the sanitary napkin and put it away. She was reluctant to use it now and planned to save it for use before going to bed at night.

In the morning, Mrs. Zhao and Lian Rongrong came to look for Jiang Yue, but they saw no one in the yard except Ningning, who was playing with sand.

"Ningning, where is your mother?" asked Mrs. Zhao. Normally at this time, Jiang Yue should be busy preparing food and cooking.

"Mom, my aunt is here and is sleeping in the house." Ningning was sitting in the sandpit. Gu Ye had brought her a small shovel. Ningning was having a lot of fun playing with the sand.

"Your mother's aunt is here? Where is she?" Mrs. Zhao looked around for someone, but she didn't see anyone else. She exclaimed, "Relatives are coming to our house, how can your mother still sleep?"

Lian Rongrong also said, "That's right, Ningning, isn't your mother's aunt your great aunt? Where is she? Take us to meet her!"

Ningning: "No aunt."

Jiang Yue didn't sleep well last night. She ran around in the morning and had a stomachache when she came back, so she went to bed to make up for the sleep. When she heard a noise in the yard, she got up and came out, holding her stomach.

"Sister-in-law, Rongrong, why are you here?" Jiang Yue invited Sister-in-law Zhao and Lian Rongrong to sit down.

"Jiang Yue, Ningning said your aunt is here. Where is she?" Mrs. Zhao asked happily.

She was the one who found Jiang Yue for Gu Ye, but she had never met Jiang Yue's family.
