When Wang Xiaolan heard him ask this, she thought to herself: What a fool he is, he doesn't even know this.
She took the box from Zhao Lihan and said, "Go to the cabinet and get me that piece of yellow straw paper."
Zhao Lihan quickly walked over and took out a knife and golden paper from the cabinet. He looked at it with a puzzled look.
(These days, having yellow toilet paper for use in the bathroom is a luxury. Made primarily of straw, it's quite rough and is often used by women during their menstrual period. After the period, deep bloodstains are left on either side of the thighs, which take days to heal. Wealthy families keep a pack of softer toilet paper at home.)
He asked in confusion, "The toilet paper hasn't been used up yet?"
"This one has been sun-dried. It's been sterilized by natural ultraviolet rays."
"This has nothing to do with the sun."
Wang Xiaolan took the paper, rolled her eyes at him unhappily, and closed the bathroom door.
Then he opened the door again, stuck his head out, and said, "When I'm done, I'll have to give you some basic knowledge on this."
Zhao Lihan stood at the door, confused. He had no idea what Wang Xiaolan meant, so he could only stand there stupidly.
I thought to myself: "Wife, you are in a bad mood. Are you angry with me? No, I have to do something. I can't just stand here."
So, he took advantage of the time when Wang Xiaolan went to the bathroom to quickly change the sheets on the bed. Just as he made the bed, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. He put down the work at hand and immediately ran over to support Wang Xiaolan.
Wang Xiaolan went back to bed and lay down, letting him sit on the edge of the bed.
She looked at Zhao Lihan busying around and thought about her attitude towards him just now. He was not angry at all. She felt very regretful and shouldn't have treated him like that.
"Li Han, I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now."
"Look at what you said. It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to say a few words. Even if you scold me, I won't be angry with you."
Wang Xiaolan reached out, took his hand and said, "Lihan, don't worry, I'm not sick, it's just a woman's menstrual period, it comes every month."
"What? I've been at home for so long, and I've never heard you say that, and neither did she before."
"You men don't understand. How could she let you know? I was planning to divorce you before, so of course I couldn't let you know about this. But now it's different. You're my husband, the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. I don't need to hide this from you."
"I'm so happy you can say that today. This is an extraordinary period for you. What should I pay attention to?"
"That's not the case, but you can't touch me these few days."
He looked at Wang Xiaolan in astonishment: "What? Didn't I touch you just now? I hope it won't make your condition worse!"
Wang Xiaolan chuckled and said, "You! So silly and cute. Come here, I'll tell you."
Zhao Lihan leaned his body sideways with his head tilted. Wang Xiaolan whispered something in his ear, and then he suddenly realized.
"Oh, I understand. It's my fault. I really don't know anything about this." As he said this, he leaned over, lowered his head, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Wife, if I did something wrong, just tell me and I promise to change."
As he spoke, he kissed her lips again, raised his head and said, "What do you need? I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy it."
Wang Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid you won't dare to buy it if I tell you."
"You didn't tell me, why don't you dare to buy it?"
"Then I'll tell you, but you can't regret it."
"That's for sure."
"Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy me a menstrual pad. The one I just used accidentally broke. Do you dare to buy it?"
After saying that, Wang Xiaolan smiled and winked at him mischievously.
When Zhao Lihan heard this, he thought to himself, "Oh my God! This is a woman's thing. How can I say this?"
People of this generation tend to be more conservative in their thinking.
Even the young girl herself did not dare to buy a "menstrual belt" in front of so many people. She lingered in front of the counter for a long time and did not dare to say anything.
Seeing that no one was around, he pointed to the box under the glass and whispered to the clerk, "I want this." His face flushed red all the way to his ears. Besides, he was a grown man, so how could he not be shy?
Even if he had the courage to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it from the salesperson, the salesperson might not sell it to him. Instead, he would be regarded as a pervert and scolded, and might even be arrested as a hooligan.
Zhao Lihan thought for a while and answered firmly: "Okay, for my wife, I'll risk it all."
Wang Xiaolan looked at the man in front of her, who even gave up his own reputation for her. She smiled happily and stretched out her arms.
"Hubby, let me hug you."
Zhao Lihan bent down and put his head in Wang Xiaolan's arms. She gave him a deep kiss. Then she whispered softly in his ear, "Dear, I was just teasing you. How could I bear to let you do such an embarrassing thing?"
Zhao Lihan was also amused by Wang Xiaolan: "Wife, what do you want to eat? I'll make it."
"Help me make brown sugar ginger syrup."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he hurried downstairs carrying the newly changed bed sheets.
…
After Zhao Lihan left, Wang Xiaolan was the only one left in the room. She had decided that since her working hours were already past, she might as well rest at home for the morning and then go back to work at the health center in the afternoon.
She lay in bed, unable to sleep because of her stomach pain. She ran to the bathroom several times and felt as if she was hollowed out, without any strength at all.
