Rebirth: Sensational Military Wife in 70s...

Chapter 22: The Mysterious Bun

Lu Weiguo and Shi Tingyu bought some daily necessities and, finally, Shi Tingyu also bought some menstrual pads. At this time, sanitary napkins weren't available, and what was sold at the counter were menstrual pads made of red cloth.

The red box had the words "Menstrual Pad" printed on it, along with smaller text that read, "Sanitary, Disinfected, A Woman's Good Friend."

In this era, many things could be managed or improved by oneself, but dealing with monthly periods was particularly troublesome, as sanitary napkins simply did not exist yet.

Shi Tingyu was now eagerly awaiting the reforms.

When they returned to the residential compound with the supply truck, Shi Tingyu thought of the woman with the neat braids they had encountered on the truck.

"Weiguo, do you know a woman who has two braids, a small mouth, fair skin, slightly upturned eyes, and a delicate appearance?"

Lu Weiguo, who had been happy when Shi Tingyu called his name, was suddenly asked if he recognized a woman. He furrowed his brows, trying to recall, but nothing came to mind that matched her description. "No, I don't."

Seeing the blank look on his face, Shi Tingyu realized that he genuinely didn't know the woman.

She wondered if her description had been too vague.

Thinking this, she went to the room, took out a pencil and a notebook, and began sketching.

After a simple sketch of a face, she tore the paper out and handed it to Lu Weiguo.

"This is her."

Lu Weiguo took the drawing, surprised at how lifelike it was. "Looking at it this way, she does seem familiar."

Shi Tingyu figured that even if Lu Weiguo had seen this woman, it was likely just in passing since he didn't seem to recognize her well. She was confident in her drawing skills.

If it were someone he knew well, he would definitely recognize her.

"Is something wrong with this person?" Lu Weiguo asked.

"Nothing, I just met her on the supply truck, and the way she looked at me was a bit strange." Shi Tingyu took the paper back and threw it into the coal stove in the kitchen to burn.

Watching her swift and fluid movements, Lu Weiguo smiled slightly. "If I see her again, I'll help you find out more."

At that moment, the woman Shi Tingyu had mentioned, Jiang Yun, was distractedly sorting the items she had purchased from town.

During dinner, Jiang Yun's husband, Company Commander Qi, came home and was surprised by the subpar meal his wife had prepared.

"Wife, did the dish burn? Why does everything taste like charcoal?"

Jiang Yun quickly tasted a bite and noticed it was a bit burnt. She waved her hand and said, "Maybe I got distracted while cooking, and it scorched a bit."

Company Commander Qi didn't say anything further. Burnt or not, the food had to be eaten; it couldn't be wasted.

Seeing that Qi's expression remained unchanged, Jiang Yun asked quietly, "Dashan, do you think someone like Captain Lu would engage in domestic violence?"

Qi Shan, whose name was often shortened by Jiang Yun to "Dashan," was taken aback by her question.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Although I'm in the Second Company and not under his command, I've interacted with him a few times. He's definitely not that kind of person."
