Chapter 012 First Meeting

Chapter 012 First Meeting

Wen Jiajia wasn't being rude just now, she was just not in a good condition at the moment.

I always feel uncomfortable all over, as if there is a fire burning in my heart, my hands are itchy, I want to curse people, and I get angry easily.

Seeing that the stubborn chicken refused to enter the nest, she almost couldn't help but pick up a knife to kill the chicken.

By the evening, she understood the reason.

The obvious heat in her lower body and the long-awaited menstrual pain made her realize that this was not her original body.

Depend on!

Wen Jiajia covered her belly and wanted to curse her mother, so she couldn't wait to look for her menstrual pad.

As she turned over and recalled, she remembered that the original owner had severe menstrual cramps because she often came into contact with ice water. And she had gone down the river yesterday, so this month would only make it worse.

It was already late at night, and the two girls were snuggling together and fast asleep.

The noise of the banging did not wake them up. Wen Jiajia searched the room but couldn't find the menstrual pad. After thinking for a while, she opened the door and went upstairs to Wen Erjie's room.

Unfortunately, there was no one in Wen Erjie's room. Wen Jiajia broke out in cold sweat and curled up at the stairs in pain, almost unable to come down.

She regretted it.

Today's synthesis opportunity has been used up. Why did she only focus on synthesizing iron products and not try synthesizing cotton cloth? Who knows, she might even get a sanitary napkin.

There was not even a piece of toilet paper at home, so she had no choice but to take out one of her own underwear, endure the pain and cut the clothes into strips, and then sew them into the shape of a menstrual pad.

Wen Jiajia didn't even bother to boil and disinfect it. She almost rolled over on the bed in so much pain. She was in such a fragile mood that she was filled with pessimistic thoughts. When she woke up the next day, her pillow was still wet.

She didn't know whether it was soaked with tears or cold sweat, she couldn't wait to go to the commune to buy a menstrual pad, and then go to the health center to get medicine, otherwise she would commit suicide sooner or later!

There was brown sugar at home, so Wen Jiajia made herself a cup of thick brown sugar and egg soup.

The two girls also drank this. The two little elves seemed to sense the low pressure on Wen Jiajia and were silent all morning. When Chen Ai came to pick them up to go to school, they looked back every three steps. It was unknown whether they were afraid that Wen Jiajia would run away or die.

"What's wrong with my aunt?" Wen Xuan frowned, worry hidden on her small face. She had gradually regained her liveliness recently, but now she was quiet again.

Wen Chun squatted by the door and looked in the direction of home, shaking his head, twisting his fingers and his eyes red.

Wen Jiajia asked Aunt Zhang next door to ask for leave. Her stomachache was not so severe now, so she had to go buy some quickly.

Zhang Xiuli said, "Why? You are only forced to work during the autumn harvest. It's okay if you don't go today. Your team leader is Fang Duotian, right? He has the sharpest eyes and the most trouble! He has to check everyone every day, and he doesn't know who didn't go."

After saying this, he still looked unhappy.

Seeing that Zhang Xiuli wanted to pull her to continue complaining about Fang Duotian's deeds, Wen Jiajia quickly broke away and smiled, "Auntie, I have something to do. I really have something to do. I'll talk to you when I get back."

"...Okay, let's talk about this later."

Wen Jiajia wanted to run, but she couldn't.

She walked out of the door with stiff steps and walked quickly towards the commune. The journey that usually took her more than ten minutes now seemed extremely long.

It was almost time to go to work, and people walked by on the road from time to time. Wen Jiajia frowned, and the cold air emanating from her body made few people dare to talk to her.

Fortunately, she soon left the area of ​​Fuyang Brigade. When she entered the commune, her face was as cold as ice, and her anxious look attracted the attention of many people.

"Isn't that the girl from the Wen family?"

"Yes, that's her."

"What happened again? It looks more worrying than if the house was on fire."

"Who knows?"

Everyone followed and after seeing Jia Jia rushing straight to the supply and marketing cooperative, they couldn't help but wonder if the supply and marketing cooperative had received goods today, otherwise why would it be so anxious?

The commune supply and marketing cooperative was very small. Although it was called a supply and marketing cooperative, it was actually similar to a rural grocery store a few decades later.

It’s small in size and sells few things.

I scanned the shelves as I entered the room and found that most of them were kitchen condiments such as salt, soy sauce, etc. I scanned again and found that half of the shelves were empty.

Wen Jiajia had a bad feeling in her heart, so she asked the salesperson: "Hello, comrade, do you have menstrual pads?"

The salesperson leaned lazily against the counter, covered his mouth and yawned, shaking his head and said, "No! This thing can only be found in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county." There is not much of a market in the countryside.

"Really?!"

Wen Jiajia looked as if the sky was falling, and the salesperson was so frightened that he became quite nervous.

Wen Jiajia asked again: "What about cotton?" With cotton, she could go home and make it herself.

"We don't have any cotton either. The rare items are snapped up as soon as they arrive. They don't last more than three hours." The salesperson asked again, "Do you really need that?"

Wen Jiajia was about to cry: "I need it very much. I need it very much."

The salesperson looked at the door and whispered in a low voice: "Then I'll give you one in private." Then she raised the price by half, and she could still make a roll of toilet paper.

Wen Jiajia nodded eagerly: "Okay, but you haven't used it before."

The salesperson denied it flatly: "Of course not!"

Wen Jiajia had reason to suspect that she had used it.

The salesperson didn't say much, asked the lady next door to help watch the store, and then ran home.

After a while, she came with a small bag, took out a small box from it and handed it to Wen Jiajia: "Take it." The box was red and slightly larger than the cigarette boxes of a few decades later.

She also muttered: "I just bought it not long ago, so I'm giving you a bargain. I won't charge you for the menstrual pad coupon, I'll just give you 60 cents."

Wen Jiajia paid sixty cents without hesitation.

But she also served as an experiment, opened the box, and pulled out a palm-sized menstrual pad from it.

Wen Jiajia said helplessly: "It's clearly been washed."

The salesperson said confidently: "Of course it has been washed. Why don't you wash this thing after you buy it?"

Wen Jiajia was speechless, she really knew how to wash.

The salesperson probably had never seen someone as wild as her. She grabbed the menstrual pad from her hand and stuffed it back into the box, whispering, "Please put it away. If you don't want to be a human being, I still have to be a human being."

Wen Jiajia tried hard to convince herself that they just needed to be separated by paper, and the barrier in her heart slowly disappeared.

There was paper in the supply and marketing cooperative, so Wen Jiajia didn't hesitate and bought a roll of paper before leaving. She also hurried to the toilet.

The commune clinic seemed to have just opened, and Fang Lan was moving out baskets of herbs to dry.

"Wen Jiajia?" Fang Lan asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

Wen Jiajia walked in and said, "I have something to ask, Doctor Fang, do you have any painkillers?"

Fang Lan had a look on her face that said, "You're dreaming." "Painkillers? To be honest, we don't even have any anti-inflammatory drugs here at the moment."

"Where are the painkillers?" Wen Jiajia still refused to give up.

"Don't even think about it."

Fang Lan looked at her for a moment and said, "Do you feel any pain? In fact, you can't take painkillers at the same time. They are addictive. Even if you go to the county hospital, the doctor won't prescribe them for you."

Wen Jiajia curled her lips and said, "I have period pain."

Fang Lan suddenly realized, and then calmly said: "Drink more ginger and brown sugar water. If you don't have brown sugar, ginger and egg soup will work. If there is really no other way, just bear with it for two days and the pain will go away."

As for eating more pork to increase nutrition and drinking less cold water to reduce coldness, she didn't even mention it. Many diseases are caused by poverty.

Wen Jiajia left in frustration.

The brown sugar at home was almost gone, and soon she would not even have brown sugar water to drink.

When she passed the supply and marketing cooperative again, the salesperson called her, "Comrade."

Wen Jiajia turned around: "What's the matter?"

The salesperson said, "The commune is going to the county to get fertilizer later. Do you want to take the bus to the county seat?" Cotton can only be bought in the county seat.

Wen Jiajia nodded hurriedly: "Yes!"

Of course I would if I could follow the car, but I can't rely on a menstrual belt for the next few days.

"When does the bus leave?" she asked.

Salesperson: "It will be about half an hour later. Get on the bus at the entrance of the commune. You have to hurry as much as possible."

Wen Jiajia thanked him hastily and rushed home.

Not long after, he came to the commune with money again.

It's really strange. I didn't feel any stomachache after running around in the morning, but as soon as I sat down, the familiar dull pain in my stomach came up again.

Wen Jiajia felt numb, so she pressed a kettle full of hot water against her stomach and put a straw under her butt, which made her feel a little better.

The car was a tractor, which was faster than the donkey cart, but still bumpy. Fortunately, she had brought straw mats, which were originally intended to prevent cold and leaks, but apparently also served as shockproof.

Wen Jiajia was swaying from side to side and could only hold on to the railing tightly. Because she was afraid of the wind, she sat behind the driver, hoping that the driver could block some of the wind for her, but the result was that the black smoke from the exhaust blew straight into her face.

"Cough, cough, cough!" It was so irritating and disgusting that Wen Jiajia almost didn't even care about her stomachache.

"Would you like to follow us?" Suddenly, the tractor stopped and the driver shouted to the people who were walking.

"Xuemin, what are you transporting?"

“Transporting fertilizer.”

"Can I drive back with you later?"

"It depends on how much fertilizer can be transported, but generally speaking, if it's only half a truck, it should be possible."

The people under the bus got on while talking, and it was obvious that some of them were also going to the county town.

Wen Jiajia seized the opportunity and moved to the left side near the front of the car. There was no black smoke here, so the wind could be stronger.

The tractor rumbled back to life, slowly moving forward and gradually picking up speed.

She pulled her coat up and her hair was blown into a mess.

I thought I could go directly to the county town, but ten minutes later I met someone on the road again.

The driver seemed very excited and seemed to speed up a bit.

"Wei Dai!" he shouted.

Wen Jiajia closed her eyes, wrapped her arms tightly around the pole, and rested her forehead on it.

As soon as he shouted, her eyes opened.

This person sounds familiar.

Someone not far away turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Xuemin, he is going to the county town."

"Yes!" The driver seemed very happy. "Come on, I'll give you a ride."

Wei Dai grabbed the pole at the rear of the bike, got on the bike, and walked straight to the opposite side of Wen Jiajia.

Wen Jiajia retracted her outstretched legs and saw the man clearly through his messy hair.

Very tall, at least 1.85 meters.

The average height of people in the south is not as high as that in the north, and most people at this time do not have enough nutrition, so there are few tall people. After traveling here for a few days, he is the tallest person Wen Jiajia has ever seen.

His physique was also stronger than the average male of the time, and his back was straight when he sat down. Wen Jiajia guessed that he had probably been in the military.

As for her face, she didn't look closely, and her stomach began to ache again. Wen Jiajia just wanted to lie down at this moment, and she didn't pursue Hai Siteng anymore. She would be fine with a straw mattress.

Wen Jiajia's eyes slowly closed. The wind was blowing hard. Xuemin, the driver, was chatting more and more excitedly, and finally he started singing. She suspected that the driver must have diarrhea today.

As they were almost at the county seat, driver Xuemin asked, "Hey, Wei Dai, how many days can you stay at home this time? When will you return to the army?"

Wei Dai glanced at the person opposite him and said, "I will return to the army at the end of next month and will be able to stay at home for 40 days."

"That's great, and we can get married at the same time."

Wei Dai smiled and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's too far away."

"Far? Not far. I saw Grandma Tian coming to our commune a few days ago. Just wait patiently."

"Why, is she talking about your commune?"

"Yes, Sister Liu Yu said that her grandmother asked her mother to help find a suitable girl."

Sister Liu Yu...her grandmother...her mother...

Wen Jiajia opened her eyes and remembered where this damn familiar face came from. This is her savior.
