Spatial Supermarket: Period Transmigration and Marriage with a Strong Guy - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Fire

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Girls in this era had their periods. Most of them used menstrual ribbons. Some of them even used dry straw.

Little ‘Song Xi’ used to use this in the past. Her health was not good, and she would suffer when her period came. She would suffer even more when she gave birth in the future.

But in this era, everyone pursued having many children as a blessing. Many women only stopped when they couldn’t give birth. It was scary and pitiful to think about it.

Zhou Yi took the flashlight from Song Xi’s hand and reached out to support her. “I’ll accompany you.”

It was too dark outside. He was afraid that she would be afraid.

“Okay.” Song Xi was not pretentious because she was afraid that she would collapse outside. Zhou Yi would accompany her there. If anything really happened, he would know immediately. Although she did not know why her modern self would transmigrate here, since she had become younger, she wanted to live a good life.

In the middle of the night in midsummer, a cool breeze blew over and over again. When it blew on her skin, she felt like her skin was eating ice cream. It was really satisfying. There was the continuous sound of frogs and cicadas coming from not far away.

Song Xi subconsciously looked up at the sky. In the dark blue sky, the stars were like diamonds, spilling ten thousand points of silver ash. The moonlight was as bright as a piece of white jade, a crystal clear white jade embedded in the endless night sky.

How beautiful was that?

Song Xi could not help but be stunned. She had never seen such a beautiful starry sky personally in the modern era. It was mainly because in the modern era, the lights at night covered the starlight. Although she could see all kinds of photos through high-tech technology, it was not as real and shocking as this moment.

The pain in her stomach made Song Xi not in the mood to admire such beautiful scenery. She quickly went to the toilet, put on a sanitary napkin, and hurried back to the room. After drinking a cup of hot water, she felt a little better and lay down to rest.

Zhou Yi did not know what was wrong with her. She did not say anything and he was very worried. He only closed his eyes when Song Xi fell asleep.

The next day, when Song Xi woke up, Zhou Yi was not at home. He must have gone out to work. After Song Xi got up and washed up, she went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Things that were ordinary in her eyes like porridge, eggs, and pickles were the best food in this era.

After Song Xi finished eating, she washed the bowls and chopsticks and put them away. She secretly added some seasonings to the rice, noodles, grain, and oil. She did not want Zhou Yi to eat wild vegetable soup anymore because she had the capital to improve their life.

Song Xi returned to her room and locked the door from the inside. She flashed into the supermarket and went to the supplements area to find health supplements or nutritional supplements to nourish her body. She could not let her menstrual cramps continue like this. Otherwise, she would really not be able to withstand the pain every month.

There was a book reading area in the supermarket. Customers often came to the supermarket to read books and they read for the entire day. Song Xi felt that it was quite boring to do nothing every day, so she went over to read books.

There were all kinds of books in the book section. There were children’s books, world-famous books, various novels, inspirational literature, recipes, medicinal cuisine recipes, winemaking, farming, and planting books. There were even books like Compendium of Herbs, Treatise on Typhoid and Miscellaneous Diseases, Shennong Hundred Herb Sutra, and so on… In short, there were all kinds of books. It was dazzling.

Song Xi did not want to read novels for the time being because novels were too long. If she could not finish reading them in a short time, it was easy for her to feel frustrated. It was easy for her to keep thinking about this, so she took a book about planting.

Song Xi was afraid that someone would come looking for her in the supermarket and she wouldn’t know, so she left the supermarket and sat by the window of her room to read. The book she was reading was a planting book that contained various methods for planting fruits and vegetables.

If she learned this, she would not have to worry about the day when the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket would be sold out. At the thought of this, Song Xi was excited. She endured the pain in her abdomen and took draft paper and pencils from the supermarket to slowly copy them down.

After all, modern books were different from books of this era. She could not keep the books about planting outside. It was safer to keep them in the supermarket.

Although the hottest rush-harvesting and rush-planting had passed, summer had not passed. The sun was still vicious. Zhou Yi wore a straw hat and carried water on his shoulders as he went to the sweet potato field to water the sweet potatoes.

Although he was rich, he still had to put on an act and earn some work points. Otherwise, how could he get a share of food at the end of the year?

Zhou Ping used the towel on his shoulder to wipe the sweat off his face. When he saw Zhou Yi return with the water, he hurriedly went over. As he carried the water, he asked in confusion, “Zhou Yi, why did you put so many sweet potato stems in the basket on your back? If there’s nothing to eat, we’ll catch frogs tonight. Frogs are meat after all. Even if you don’t think for yourself, you have to think for your wife. If she doesn’t have anything to eat, how can her body be well-nourished?”

Zhou Yi lifted the other bucket of water into the sweet potato field and poured it down the roots. He did not want to explain anything. If everyone knew that the sweet potato stems were quite delicious after having their skin peeled off and stir-fried, then the sweet potato stems in the sweet potato field could be picked clean by everyone. If picking a little bit of it did not affect the growth of the sweet potatoes underground, he did not know if it would affect them when there were no stems at all.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was ignoring him, Zhou Ping said helplessly, “Zhou Yi, are you listening to me? If your wife doesn’t recover, it will be difficult for her to give birth in the future…”

“Come to my house tonight. You’ll know why I picked sweet potato stems. However, don’t talk nonsense outside.” Zhou Yi didn’t want to hear Zhou Ping’s noisy voice in his ear, so he interrupted him.

As for the child, as long as Song Xi was by his side, it did not matter if she had a child or not.

Although he did not specially investigate, he had seen through many things in the village. Women had to walk through the gates of hell to give birth. Some succeeded, and some failed. Even if they succeeded, it was especially harmful to their bodies.

If Song Xi was like the other women in the village and had to suffer for three days and three nights before she could give birth, his heart would ache. Such a delicate girl should be pampered. How could he let her experience such pain?!

Just as Zhou Yi was thinking about what to do to avoid getting pregnant after he and Song Xi became husband and wife, a child suddenly called out to him in panic, “Uncle Zhou Yi, Uncle Zhou Yi…”

Zhou Yi stopped watering and looked up at Zhou Xiao Shu, who was running towards him. He asked in confusion, “Xiao Shu, why are you looking for me so urgently?”

“Uncle Zhou Yi, your house is on fire…” Zhou Xiao Shu ran too hurriedly. He was hot and tired, and his throat seemed to be on fire.

Zhou Yi lowered his head and looked in the direction of his house. As expected, he saw black smoke floating into the sky. Instantly, Zhou Yi’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly abandoned what he was doing and ran down the mountain. Seeing this, Zhou Ping picked up Zhou Yi’s basket and followed.
