The doctor nodded, and seeing that he didn't quite understand, he said a few more words.
"Most women do not ovulate during the two periods before and after their menstrual cycle."
"So whether you use birth control products or not, your partner's chances of getting pregnant are not high."
However, there are always exceptions, and the doctor didn't dare to make any definitive statements.
"But it's not 100% certain; it's just that, relatively speaking, the chances of her getting pregnant during this period are not high."
"And you have also taken cleaning measures. If you are really worried, you can wait two more days."
"If her period is late next month, bring her to the hospital for a check-up."
"By the way, was your wife feeling unwell yesterday?"
Huo Tingzhou hesitated for a moment, wondering if this whining and grumbling counted.
His hesitation prompted the doctor to write him a prescription immediately.
"This swelling-reducing ointment isn't expensive, only two cents a box."
"Go back and take a look for yourself. If there are any uncomfortable areas, apply a thin layer."
"Thank you, doctor."
Having asked all the necessary questions, Huo Tingzhou got up to say goodbye when the doctor called him back.
Previously, most family planning products on the market contained talcum powder.
Later, they said it was bad for people's health, so they changed it to starch.
However, after 1966, agricultural production declined, and starch rations became insufficient.
Therefore, starting from the second half of this year, all the isolation agents in family planning products have been replaced with sewing machine oil.
Doctors are unsure whether this is harmful to the human body, but the damage rate of items soaked in engine oil is indeed very high!
In just the last few months, the number of military dependents coming to their hospital for prenatal checkups has increased by several dozen compared to last year.
Among them are many women who gave birth at an advanced age of over forty.
Later, after conducting a survey, they discovered that most of the problems stemmed from family planning products.
"I can't guarantee that these things in the hospital won't cause problems during use."
"If you really want to prevent pregnancy, you can go to Friendship Store and take a look. The family planning products there are of better quality."
"Okay, I understand."
Huo Tingzhou kept the doctor's words in mind.
In addition to identification, you also need foreign exchange certificates or special supply certificates to buy things at the Friendship Store.
Fortunately, he had many comrades from the Beijing Military Region, so he could manage to gather them together.
While Huo Tingzhou was frantically collecting special coupons, Jiang Si's chicken noodle soup was already ready.
While she was cooking, the calico cat either tilted its head and stared at her without moving.
Or they would just keep circling around her legs.
Seeing this, Jiang Si quickly took out a few fresh sea fish from her space, cut them into small pieces, and placed them in front of it.
He patted its head and said, "Eat up."
The calico cat was so happy it kept meowing.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Huo Tingzhou still hadn't returned.
Feeling bored, Jiang Si moved a chair to the yard and started sunbathing. The calico cat also took the opportunity to lie down at her feet.
Suddenly, it sounded like they heard a noise.
It darted into the storeroom with a whoosh, and a clattering sound came from inside shortly afterward.
Jiang Si dared not go over there.
Just then, Huo Tingzhou returned, and she quickly pointed to the storage room.
"The kitten just darted inside. Go check it out quickly; I think it caught a mouse."
She quickly retreated back to the living room.
Still haunted by last night's experience, Jiang Si now avoids even glancing at a rat.
Little did she know, no sooner had she finished speaking than...
Like a victorious general, the calico cat darted out of the storeroom with a huge rat in its mouth.
It looked around and then walked towards Jiang Si as if presenting a treasure.
It remembered her scent; it was this beautiful two-legged creature who had just fed it delicious pieces of fish.
"..."
As it drew closer and closer, Jiang Si's pupils dilated in shock once again.
No, I'm feeding you fish chunks so you'll work harder to catch mice.
I didn't mean for you to put a mouse on my face!
If Jiang Si had any thoughts about wanting to keep a cat in the future, those thoughts have now been completely dispelled.
Fortunately, Huo Tingzhou closed the door quickly, otherwise she would have gone crazy!
Perhaps realizing that it had frightened the beautiful two-legged creature, the calico cat darted outside with the mouse in its paw, and when it returned, its meows were much quieter.
Seeing its pitiful appearance, Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh.
But the next second, when she saw the noodles in the pot, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Si raised her chin. "I thought you'd be back soon, so I ordered yours too."
"Now the noodles have all clumped together."
"It's okay, it's still delicious even if it's crumbly."
Huo Tingzhou wasn't a picky eater to begin with, especially since she had made it herself.
Even if it turns into a mushy mess, he'll only say one thing: "It's easy to digest."
Having expended a lot of energy last night, Huo Tingzhou is hungry now.
A large bowl of noodles was finished in just a few minutes.
Jiang Si is the kind of person who forgets the pain as soon as the wound heals; she had just made up her mind that she never wanted to raise a cat again.
But when I see the calico cat chasing its own tail and spinning around, I instantly find it incredibly cute.
Of course, it would be even better if the mouse wasn't brought to her.
After watching it for a while, Jiang Si couldn't resist teasing it.
"Mimi, come here—"
Mimi?
Upon hearing the sound, the calico cat's previously droopy ears instantly perked up.
Realizing it was a beautiful two-legged creature calling it, it came over with light, quick steps.
