Chapter 297: Chapter 0297: Kissing You A Thousand Times 1_1

The sanitary pad coupon given to Feng Qingxue by Mum Xu became useless after she became pregnant, but she still bought a sanitary pad with it before it expired. Later, she made several more based on the design of the purchased one, planning to deceive people with them in the future.

The sanitary supplies in her space were certainly not for public display. She would use them secretly and then burn what was left.

Seeing Zhang Erya’s sudden need, Feng Qingxue gave her two of the handmade sanitary pads, with instructions to use one, take one home, and switch them as needed.

At the same time, she also gave Zhang Erya two rolls of toilet paper.

’A roll for fifteen cents, it was rough and dark in color but could be bought from the supply and marketing cooperative without a coupon.’

"In a few days, the bleeding will stop, remember to maintain cleanliness during this period, don’t catch a cold, and don’t use cold water to wash dishes or clothes," Feng Qingxue prepared a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea for her, watching her drinking it while it was hot. "I remember their production team allocated a few pieces of land to you all in the summer, although everyone only had a small plot, they planted a lot of vegetables and ginger, you can go home and make some ginger soup for yourself."

"I’ll remember that, Auntie Snow." Zhang Erya’s face was flushed, her voice was barely above a whisper.

After drinking the brown sugar ginger tea, her stomach felt warm, and it seemed to not hurt as much.

Before, when she started bleeding, she thought she was dying. Now knowing that it’s just a sign of growing up, she felt both shy and pleased; she didn’t have to die, she could lead a good life, she was really afraid that she would not die of hunger or cold, but bleed to death.

It was hard enough to live a life with a roof over her head and food to eat, she’d hate to die and leave her group of friends behind.

Feng Qingxue felt a pang of sorrow, "Go home, lie down for a bit. Your room’s brick bed should be warm as it’s connected to the stove."

After seeing off Zhang Erya, she welcomed an agitated Wang Fengqiao.

"What’s wrong, auntie? Are you still mad at Uncle Wang?

Wang Fengqiao threw herself down on a chair, "Do you know why he came?"

Feng Qingxue shook her head, she had never met Wang Zhengjun before, how could she possibly know his intentions.

"He’s here because his oldest son is getting married soon. The ceremony will take place in town, he feels that it would reflect poorly on them if no one from his side of the family attended, that’s why he came today. I told you, no one comes to the Three Treasures Hall without cause. Moreover, what’s infuriating is that he didn’t give any gift at all when Jiaojiao went out today, I’m not sure if he forgot or he did it intentionally."

As an uncle, he should at least give a gift of five yuan.

For him, who earns a few dozen yuan a month, five yuan is not a large amount.

Feng Qingxue did not comment on Wang Zhengjun’s actions, instead she asked, "Is the person from uncle’s family a cousin or a nephew? When is the ceremony? Are we all going?"

"He’s a year older than you, his name is Wang, what’s that again?" Wang Fengqiao thought for a moment, "Oh, your grandmother named him Dagazi, but your uncle didn’t like it and changed it to Wang Mingxuan. The ceremony will be held in the canteen of the Mining Bureau the day after tomorrow, October 28th. The elder uncle thinks we should go, all of us who should be there should go, he was unkind but we should not be unjust. Isn’t it just five yuan? His suggestion that we simply attend the ceremony without giving red envelopes makes it seem like we can’t afford five yuan."

"The Mining Bureau? I thought you said Uncle was working at the coal mine in town," Feng Qingxue seemed puzzled.

There was a distinct difference between a coal mine and a mining bureau.

Wang Fengqiao explained, "Your fourth uncle was transferred from the mine to the Mining Bureau last year, he’s now a staff officer, that’s what he said during the meal. His daughter-in-law is the daughter of a deputy level cadre in the Mining Bureau, we don’t know her name or any details."
