Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 13 Everything she said is right
It did Jiang Lan a big favor. During the free time in the physical education class in the afternoon, Jiang Lan bought three ice creams and sat under the tree with Ni Manhua and Jiang Lan to enjoy the cool air.

There is nothing more appealing in this weather than ice cream. One bite will reduce the disturbing heat by half.

Zhan Ping leaned against the tree and pointed to the teaching building on the other side of the playground with the finger holding the ice cream: "Look, that's the Class [-] classroom. Is Lin's seat next to the window? His window is open. I'll take one if you want." Can the water gun hurt him?"

Ni Manhua felt that the biggest advantage for Jiang Lan to join their small group was that she shared the responsibility of educating Zhan Ping, a living treasure.

Sure enough, even Jiang Lan couldn't bear to listen to such an out-of-touch idea: "There are surveillance cameras on the playground, and the rocket class teacher has a very nice look. If the teacher happens to walk near him to give a lecture, you will be doomed."

Zhan Ping sighed regretfully: "It's so boring to take physical education class this summer. It's hard for me to move even a step. The teacher doesn't let me go anywhere except the playground and the gymnasium, even if I want to have some fun for myself."

Jiang Lan brought entertainment magazines down to read. She didn't have to worry about having nothing to do: "Just be content, didn't you just give us 5 minutes to go to the canteen to buy water?"

Ni Manhua finished eating the ice cream and stood up to throw the sticks. The moment she threw the sticks into the trash can, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen.She had been eating at home honestly for the past two days, so she shouldn't have had a stomachache. Then a warm current surged through her lower body, and Ni Manhua realized that it had been more than half a month since she returned to this time and space, and she hadn't paid attention to her menstrual cycle. .

Ni Manhua's expression changed and she hurriedly walked towards the toilet. Zhan Ping asked her what she was going to do from behind, but she had no time to pay attention.

When he went to the toilet and took off his pants, Ni Manhua saw a blood stain in the middle of his underwear. Fortunately, the area was not large and it did not soak into his school uniform pants.Ni Manhua put on his school uniform and walked out, returned to the tree and asked Zhan Ping and Jiang Lan with a frown: "I'm on my period, which one of you brought it..."

"I'll borrow it for you." Before Ni Manhua finished speaking, Zhan Ping stood up quickly and ran towards several other girls.Jiang Lan put down the magazine and looked at her in shock: "Why don't you remember the date? You just ate such a big ice cream."

"Forgot." Ni Manhua didn't know how to explain it. Fortunately, Zhan Ping quickly borrowed a sanitary napkin, and Ni Manhua went to the toilet to put on a pad, finally feeling more at ease.

But it seemed to be more uncomfortable physically. Summer was already sultry and her whole body was sweating. The sanitary napkin was made of pure cotton and was very thick. Ni Manhua felt that it was sticking to her. This feeling made her uncomfortable. .

When Zhan Ping was looking for sanitary napkins, she saw a classmate who had secretly brought a mobile phone and watched a video. Now she ran over to watch the video. Ni Manhua had to go to the physical education teacher to ask for leave.The physical education teacher was a middle-aged man. When he heard that she was on her period, he was embarrassed and asked her to go back to the classroom to rest. There was no need to gather for roll call before class.

But Ni Manhua didn't have any particularly uncomfortable physiological reactions. She just wanted to go to the canteen. It happened to be class time and there was no one in the canteen.

When Ni Manhua arrived at the canteen, there was only one proprietress sitting behind the cashier watching TV. When Ni Manhua walked over, she looked away from the TV.

Ni Manhua asked: "Hello, where are the tampons?"

"It's right here." The proprietress stood up quickly and took down a box of double-ended cotton swabs from the cabinet behind her.

Ni Manhua was stunned. She thought the boss lady didn't hear her clearly, so she explained again: "It's not a cotton swab, it's a tampon, a tampon. It's used when you have your period."

"Use a sanitary napkin when you have your period." The landlady looked confused, as if she had a communication barrier with Ni Manhua.

"It can also be regarded as a kind of sanitary napkin, that is..." Ni Manhua gestured a little sheepishly: "It can be inserted into the body, it is root-shaped."

"How come there is such a thing?" The landlady's face changed, and she waved her hand and said, "No, no, we don't sell such things."

Seeing the attitude of the landlady, Ni Manhua doubted her memory. She was indeed recommended tampons by her colleagues when she was at work, but she remembered that her colleagues had been using tampons for several years at that time. Could it be that at this time, there were still tampons in the domestic market? No tampons?
Ni Manhua turned around with doubts. She originally wanted to go back to the classroom, but she suddenly heard the landlady whispering something in a low voice: "Girls nowadays are so misbehaving at such a young age, and all kinds of diseases will come to their door in the future."

There was sound on the TV, and the proprietress probably felt that her words could be covered up by the actors' lines, so the volume was not too low.

Ni Manhua knew that there was an information gap between him and the people in this time and space, and their ignorance and incomprehension of many things was not their problem, but Ni Manhua couldn't accept the insulting life attack from the boss lady.

Originally she was a little angry because of her physical discomfort, but now that she was offended, Ni Manhua felt her anger rising from the bottom of her heart. She suddenly turned around and looked at the landlady and said: "First, tampons are the same as sanitary napkins. It is a compliant and legal daily necessities for women. You don’t have to sell it or not use it. It’s my business to use it. Secondly, just like you don’t understand tampons, you don’t understand me either. Tampons and I both agree. Clean, I don’t know where you came to the conclusion that you will get sick due to indiscretion in your mouth. Third, please wait for others to move away from you and lower your voice before you speak ill of others."

Ni Manhua finished this long list in one breath, only to realize that there was suddenly an extra person in the store that had no other customers except others, and he was the person she least wanted to meet.

Lu Guanhai held a box of white chalk and a box of colored chalk, standing at the corner of the innermost row of shelves, looking at her without blinking.

Ni Manhua hadn't been this embarrassed for a long time. She was sure that Lu Guanhai heard what she just said, but she didn't know if Lu Guanhai heard her describing how to use tampons to the landlady.

The landlady's face turned green and white at this time. It would have been embarrassing to have someone exposed behind her back, but now there were other customers who heard her, and it was a handsome male student. The landlady wished she could disappear.

The landlady didn't look in any direction, and she said nonchalantly: "I've never seen that thing, and I've never seen a little girl like you talking like that. It's so embarrassing for a boy to hear those words of yours."

The landlady lowered her head and pretended to sort out the change. Ni Manhua had no intention of arguing with her and wanted to leave the place quickly, but he didn't know if he needed to say hello to Lu Guanhai.

Lu Guanhai had already walked out. He put the chalk on the cashier and looked at the landlady without a red face and a heartbeat: "I think what she said is quite right. Madam, how much do these two boxes of chalk cost together?"

Ni Manhua didn't expect Lu Guanhai to get involved in this topic. After Lu Guanhai paid the bill, Ni Manhua tried his best to curve the corner of his mouth and greeted politely: "What a coincidence."

"Yes, I am buying chalk for the teacher. You are asking for leave..."

"Physical education class, you go back to class quickly. I'm going to the playground." Ni Manhua didn't want to talk to Lu Guanhai in this situation.But Lu Guanhai didn't have the eyesight to see, and he wanted to comfort her: "Don't take what the boss lady said just to heart. It's normal to have a generation gap. I think what you said makes sense."

"Okay, hurry up and go to class. Your teachers and classmates are waiting for you."

Ni Manhua didn't need Lu Guanhai's support, she just wanted to end this topic quickly.

Lu Guanhai probably didn't know that in another time and space, he bought Ni Manhua's monthly supplies of menstrual products.
