Chapter 209 Menstrual Napkin After midnight. Xue Lihua's personal bodyguard drove a carriage and took Gu Chan back to the clinic in the refugee area. After getting off the carriage, the female soldier said to Gu Chan, "General Xue asked me to tell you that I wish you a great victory tomorrow night." "Okay, I also wish Sister Xue to bring the soldiers back to the border as soon as possible." Gu Chan said politely. The female soldier smiled and nodded, said goodbye to her and left. Gu Chan walked to the door of the clinic and knocked. Soon the door of the clinic opened, and Ouyang Wan'er, wearing a coat and holding an oil lamp, came to open the door for her. Gu Chan was surprised, "Why, you haven't slept yet?" "Didn't I say I'd wait for you?" Ouyang Wan'er said softly.
"Then you don't have to wait downstairs! Go back to your room and let Ma Zheng wait for me downstairs." Gu Chan said concernedly. Ouyang Wan'er shook her head indifferently, stretched out her tender white hand and pulled her into the lobby, then closed the door and locked it from the inside. Gu Chan walked to the table and sat down. After putting the oil lamp on the table, she quickly poured her a cup of hot water to warm her body. Gu Chan drank the hot water and felt deeply moved! The hot water was still quite hot, proving that it was boiled. This meant that Ouyang Wan'er had probably been boiling water while waiting for her, and she didn't even know how many times she had boiled the kettle. Such a considerate young wife, even if she is a woman, can't help but be moved! Ouyang Wan'er didn't notice the change in Gu Chan's expression, but walked over to sit opposite her. After Gu Chan finished drinking the cup of hot water, she whispered, "I've been waiting for you to come back because I have something important to discuss with you." "You talk, I'm listening." Gu Chan put down the cup and answered seriously. "During the time I have been in the refugee area, I have also been observing secretly. I found that there is a lack of clean, hygienic, high-quality and low-priced women's products in this huge refugee area. I think this is a great business opportunity. While opening the clinic, we may be able to make some money and improve the conditions of women in the refugee area at the same time." Ouyang Wan'er explained shrewdly. Gu Chan was stunned when she heard it. In the past few days, she had been running around all day long, but she hadn't noticed the huge business opportunity in the refugee area. Now that Ouyang Wan'er said this, she admitted that this was indeed something that could be done. Ouyang Wan'er added, "If we can make a clean, hygienic, and inexpensive menstrual stick, it will definitely sell like hot cakes here." "No, no, no, that thing is really uncomfortable to use." Gu Chan came back to her senses and waved her hand hurriedly to stop it. Ouyang Wan'er stared at Gu Chan and was stunned for a moment. Then she blushed and asked, "What do you mean? How do you know that the menstrual stick is uncomfortable to use?" "..."Gu Chan. Dry! She really wanted to say that she had used this thing when she had her first period, and it was really uncomfortable to use. Although it is indeed convenient to use, it is not as good as sanitary napkins! In short, how could she know? Damn it, she has used it before, how could she not know? But at this time, she certainly couldn't tell the truth to Ouyang Wan'er, so she could only cough twice to cover up her embarrassment and said, "When I was in Wuheng County, didn't I learn medicine from Shopkeeper Zhou for a while? At that time, he taught me some medical skills about gynecology. When some women went to Shopkeeper Zhou's shop to buy menstrual sticks, I asked out of curiosity."
"Oh! So that's it! So you mean, we don't do menstrual sticks anymore?" Ouyang Wan'er asked disappointedly. "Yes, but it's not a menstrual stick, but something else. This thing can still achieve the same effect, and it's much more comfortable to use than a menstrual stick." Gu Chan said firmly. Ouyang Wan'er was completely confused and couldn't understand what she meant at all. Gu Chan knew that it was useless to say more, so she immediately ordered, "Well, go get a piece of clean cloth and some clean cotton, and I'll make something else for you to see." "Okay, I'll go right away." Ouyang Wan'er nodded and immediately got up and went upstairs. After a while it came down with the basket of needlework and put it on the table. In the basket were a piece of gray cloth, some clean cotton, a pair of scissors, pins and linen rope. Without saying a word, Gu Chan picked up the scissors and started cutting the cloth. She cut the cloth into two pieces of sanitary napkins, then sewed them together, stuffed cotton in between, and then sewed them together. Soon a rough ancient version of a sanitary napkin took shape. Gu Chan poured a glass of water, placed it on top of the thing, and said to Ouyang Wan'er, "Just look at it!" After saying that, she immediately poured a glass of water on it. The water quickly penetrates the cloth and into the cotton inside. Because cotton absorbs water, the cloth feels dry to the touch. Ouyang Wan'er looked confused, "I don't quite understand, what does this mean?" "Let me tell you, this is called a menstrual napkin. Putting it inside your underwear is not only comfortable but also can prevent side leakage. Most importantly, it is inexpensive. As long as you use clean cloth and cotton, it can meet clean and hygienic standards." Gu Chan explained. "Then how do I put this in my panties?" Ouyang Wan'er asked with a blushing face. Seeing how shy she was, Gu Chan became shy herself. Oh shit! She is a woman after all, why does she become shy when telling this to a woman? Quickly suppressing her shyness, Gu Chan said, "Come on, let's go back to the room. Give me a pair of your pants and I'll teach you." "Okay!" Ouyang Wan'er agreed obediently, and immediately picked up the sewing basket and went upstairs to her room with Gu Chan. When they returned to the room, she immediately found a pair of pants and handed them to Gu Chan. Gu Chan picked up the menstrual napkin and stuck it to her pants. She taught her how to do it herself, and then said, "See these two little wings? We need to get something sticky underneath and stick it to the pants so that it won't slip out of the pants." "Oh, you are such a talented person! You can actually come up with such a great thing. Well, let me use your menstrual napkin as a prototype and study it for a few days to see if I can improve it for you. If you think it's ok, I'll use it first. If it works, we will promote it vigorously. What do you think?" Ouyang Wan'er said excitedly. Gu Chan smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? Just go and improve it, so that you don't have to be idle all day long." "Yes! Thank you." Ouyang Wan'er said with a red face and very tenderly. Gu Chan's heart almost jumped out of her throat. Fortunately, she is a woman. If she were a man, he would not be able to bear it! After that, the two of them didn't say anything more, and Gu Chan went to bed to rest. Ouyang Wan'er became interested and sat alone at the table to study menstrual napkins. Gu Chan asked her several times to go to bed, but she refused. Finally, Gu Chan stopped calling her and closed her eyes and fell asleep, letting her toss and turn.
