"Each generation relies on the teachings of the previous generation. How many young girls, when they first start menstruating, think they have a terminal illness and don't know how to protect themselves or maintain hygiene. Some don't even know how to use their period. They're too embarrassed to mention it to their families, let alone talk about it publicly. In the end, they have to bear the consequences themselves."
Not to mention others, even when Wu Shuke was sixteen or seventeen years old and had her period, she didn't understand anything and her mother never told her about it at home. It was the first time she saw so much blood on her underwear, and she ran home crying at school. It was her eldest sister who happened to be back home that day. After knowing about this, she made her a menstrual belt, taught her how to use it, and told her not to catch a cold. Before that, she had never known about this.
There may be attentive mothers who pay attention to their daughters' situation, but there are also many careless mothers who never teach them.
Even many women consider this matter to be shameful, so when the leader first said that he would send someone to do this promotion, she volunteered.
She may not have much knowledge of professional knowledge, but she will do her best to ensure their logistical work, and the Propaganda Department will also help as much as possible, including the funds and wages they need, and she will try her best to strive for them.
With Wu Shuke's words, Jiang Mengxue felt more confident. No matter what others said, she just had to stick to doing her own thing.
After lunch, Jiang Mengxue and Xie Sheng took a leave of absence and took a bus home to pack their things.
I didn't come home last night, and I left the sweet potatoes on the corridor to dry overnight. I don't know if they were frozen.
Jiang Mengxue entered the middle courtyard. Aunt Liu was washing dishes by the sink. She was a little curious to see Jiang Mengxue come back at this time.
"Xiao Jiang, why are you back at this hour? I didn't see you last night after get off work? Are you on night shift?"
Jiang Mengxue opened the door with her key and replied to Aunt Liu: "I stayed at my second mother's house yesterday. Aunt Liu, I have to go to the Second Hospital of Xicheng for work recently. I'm not sure when I can come back. Please help me look after the house. If anyone comes to see me, please tell them that I'm not here recently."
"Ah? Doctor Jiang, are you coming back? Have you been transferred to the Second Hospital? It's so far from east to west, wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to go back and forth every day?"
"Yes, but my husband's second uncle and second aunt's family live in Xicheng, so I stayed directly with my relatives this time. I came back today to pack some things, and I will come back after I finish there. I'm just transferred there temporarily."
Jiang Mengxue took a look at the dried sweet potatoes on the lid. Apart from being a little pale and still quite soft, there was nothing wrong with them.
He went into the house, found a clean net bag, put all the dried sweet potatoes in it, and took the food from the kitchen. Everyone in the city had a fixed amount of food, and even if he had money, he couldn't buy more food.
I also packed some dried kelp and seafood that my sister brought, as well as some canned food that I made myself.
I went into the house and took out two sets of clothes. There was nothing else I needed to take.
Looking at the time, Jiang Mengxue entered a space. In addition to General Xuanwu who needed to exchange food, there was also the man who had dug ginseng before.
Mountain Hunter: "I'm sorry, the century-old ginseng I dug has been sold. If you need it, I still have a few decades-old ginseng here."
Jiang Mengxue didn't hesitate: "Yes, yes, I wonder what you want to exchange for it?"
The other party was probably also online, so he replied within two minutes.
The Mountain Hunter said: "I don't need anything else for now, just gold and silver. I have four ginseng roots and 20 taels of silver."
Jiang Mengxue: "..."
I don’t know how to describe my mood at the moment. Maybe I’m a little speechless. She was already prepared to bleed, but this is the result?
She had also checked the price of ginseng over the years on the Internet, and found that it had risen to more than one thousand taels per catty during the late Qing Dynasty.
Before this, I heard that ginseng was quite cheap, but it shouldn’t be this cheap.
Moreover, when trading on this platform, everyone assumes that the price will be several times higher, and no one will sell according to their current world price.
Considering that the other party might just be a rural hunter, it would be embarrassing to cheat him too much.
Jiang Mengxue: "Was the price of ginseng very low in your dynasty?"
The mountain hunter said: "It's not low. One kilogram of ginseng is about six ounces. It has increased this year. I have made about three times as much."
Jiang Mengxue: "Everyone on the platform defaults to double the amount, but don't you need anything else besides gold and silver? I have food, meat, clothes, cotton, etc. If you need anything, you can exchange them."
The mountain hunter said: "If possible, I hope to exchange it for some fine grains and some nourishing food for my wife. My wife is pregnant, and there isn't much we can buy in town."
Jiang Mengxue understood what was going on and prepared some food and nutritional supplements for him.
After a while, I received the ginseng sent by the other party, which was simply and roughly placed in a cloth bag.
When Jiang Mengxue saw the ginseng roots that fell under the cloth bag, her heart ached with pain. These were pure wild ginseng, and they had been handled too roughly.
Jiang Mengxue simply processed it and put it in a box, labeled it to avoid confusion, and then dealt with it properly when she had time.
After solving the space problem, I put all the things I needed to take in the basket at the back of the car and prepared to go to the station. I made an appointment with Xie Sheng to wait at the station at 3 o'clock and take the 3:30 bus back to Xicheng.
Now, whenever Jiang Mengxue gets in the car, she tries to sit by the window so that she can get some fresh air and feel more comfortable.
"Girl? Can you exchange the dried sweet potatoes at your feet for some?"
Jiang Mengxue turned around and saw an old lady sitting next to her, staring at the bag of sweet potatoes under her seat.
"Sorry, I made this for my own consumption, I won't exchange it."
The old lady sat back in her seat with regret. She just thought Jiang Mengxue's sweet potatoes looked delicious, so she wanted to exchange some for her daughter-in-law.
Her daughter-in-law wanted to eat dried sweet potatoes because she was pregnant recently, but the dried sweet potatoes she made were black and hard, so her daughter-in-law stopped eating after eating a few.
She also asked around and tried changing things a little, but they were all the same, pretty much the same as what she did.
After thinking about it, I still felt unwilling to give up, and wanted to talk to Jiang Mengxue, even if it was just to change a few of them.
But seeing Jiang Mengxue leaning back in her seat with her eyes closed in discomfort, he was too embarrassed to speak for a moment.
Jiang Mengxue was not sleeping at all, nor was she feeling uncomfortable. She was actually using her mind to collect food in the space.
Fortunately, the crops will stop growing at the optimal time of maturity and will not get old or rot.
Otherwise, she and Gu Qingbei often couldn't harvest in time, and a lot of food would be wasted.
Even though he had exchanged a lot with General Xuanwei, a big grain buyer, it was still more than what Gu Qingbei had accumulated in the previous twenty years.
