The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"I'm fine, just slow down, you don't need to stop."

She knew she was experiencing altitude sickness.

"If your sister-in-law feels unwell, please let us know immediately."

"Um."

Shen Jingyue nodded. If she was really uncomfortable, she would definitely say so; she valued her life very much.

She took a sip of water, which was boiled from the small lake in the space's medicinal field. She found that drinking that water could alleviate her altitude sickness considerably.

If only there were oxygen, this altitude sickness is caused by high altitude, low air pressure, and scarce oxygen. Inhaling oxygen can alleviate altitude sickness.

She asked Xiao Cheng directly, "Xiao Cheng, do you sell oxygen cylinders here?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, what do you need an oxygen cylinder for? It seems like only hospitals have these."

Shen Jingyue asked in surprise, "Don't people who are new here need oxygen because they're not used to the environment?"

"No need. Some will adapt gradually, while those with severe cases will be sent to the hospital for a few days to continue adapting and will get better slowly."

Shen Jingyue: Is it really that simple and crude?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Resources were scarce in this era, including medical resources. Oxygen cylinders were very expensive, and they certainly couldn't be used casually unless absolutely necessary.

"Sister-in-law, what do you need an oxygen cylinder for?" Xiao Wang asked while driving.

"The high altitude and low atmospheric pressure in Northwest China mean that oxygen is scarce. Without enough oxygen, the human body will experience various discomforts, such as difficulty breathing, chest tightness, vomiting, dizziness, colds, fever..."

"Some may even experience nosebleeds, lethargy, or coma... In severe cases, it can even lead to shock."

"This is what people often call 'acclimatization sickness.' When people who have never been here before suddenly arrive in this place, their bodies are not used to the environment, which can lead to these problems."

This way of putting it is easier to understand.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know so much? And what are high altitude and atmospheric pressure? And why does lack of oxygen cause these problems?"

They were all roughnecks, some of them illiterate, except for a few characters they learned in the army.

But to make them understand these things, their brains are really not up to the task.

"It would be too complicated to explain in detail. You can think of it as the fact that there is less oxygen here, and the oxygen we breathe in cannot supply our whole body. It is very difficult for non-locals to adapt at first."

"No wonder. We locals don't feel anything at all, but when outsiders come here, they all experience various discomforts. The older folks say it's because they're not used to the local environment, and they'll get used to it after a while."

Xiao Cheng felt that he understood, but also felt that he didn't quite understand.

"Then, sister-in-law, can oxygen therapy make these discomforts disappear?" Xiao Wang asked hurriedly.

"It can alleviate the symptoms, but if you stay here for a long time, you need to adapt. You can't rely on oxygen all the time; you have to adapt to the environment on your own."

"However, this adaptation takes time and cannot be achieved overnight. Everyone's adaptation ability is different; some adapt quickly and some slowly."

"Sister-in-law, you know so much."

Both Xiao Wang and Xiao Cheng couldn't help but admire their sister-in-law.

They simply assumed that the people from other places were experiencing various symptoms due to the change in environment, unaware that there was so much more to it than they knew.

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell too? If so, I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out."

"No need, I can adapt now."

After drinking the spiritual spring water, Shen Jingyue is currently in a good condition.

"If your sister-in-law feels unwell, you must tell us."

Xiao Wang slowed down a bit.

The troops that reached Qin Xiang'an still had to cross a desert.

The wind and sand were so strong that all the windows on the car were closed.

Looking at the endless desert, Shen Jingyue felt a little worried about her future life.

It took us two or three hours to drive out of this desert.

After driving for another hour or so after leaving the desert, this area was all barren Gobi, devoid of any vegetation.

However, once you cross the Gobi Desert, you'll see vast fields of golden wheat, where the wind-blown wheat waves are on full display.

After driving for so long, we finally saw the village houses.

"Sister-in-law, the county is just ahead. Is there anything you need to buy? It takes about an hour to drive from the county to the military base," Xiao Cheng asked.

"Didn't the military buy any?"

She doesn't know what she wants to buy now.

Once we get there, we'll take a look.

"Yes, we do have some, but some items are often out of stock, and we don't have a lot of stock."

"If you need to buy anything, it's best to buy it from the county's supply and marketing cooperative."

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

She thought of some major things, like enamel basins and towels, which she would need to buy new ones for.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better bring a scarf. It's very windy and dusty here. Wear a scarf to cover your face," Xiao Cheng reminded her.

There's sand and dust everywhere outside right now. If you don't cover your face, you'll definitely get a mouthful of sand.

"it is good."

Using the bundle as a cover, Shen Jingyue retrieved a red silk scarf from her bedroom, which she had bought to match her clothes.

She put on the scarf, and by the time the car stopped near the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Jingyue had already put it on.

"Xiao Cheng, you go inside with your sister-in-law. I'll wait for you in the car."

He needed someone to watch over the car, but he was also worried about leaving his sister-in-law alone.

"Yes."

Xiao Cheng got off the bus and went to the supply and marketing cooperative with his sister-in-law.

The sandstorms here are really strong; as soon as they got out of the car, they could feel the wind whistling towards them.

The two got out of the car and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative ahead.

The houses here are all single-story, and the supply and marketing cooperative itself is not very large.

There were quite a few items, and after asking around, I learned that some required tickets while others did not.

Shen Jingyue picked out what she needed and bought it.

Enameled basin, towel, and there's also face cream here. She bought a bottle too; it's quite dry here, so it'll be nice to use this to wipe her hands.

Her online space contains skincare products and soaps, all made by herself using traditional Chinese medicine, which are said to beautify and nourish the skin.

Her face and skin have become much fairer and smoother in the past few days.

She didn't buy much. If she really needed something, she could just take it from her own space later. Besides what she just mentioned, she also bought a pair of cloth shoes. Although leather shoes are nice, they are uncomfortable to wear for a long time.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll stay here in the future. Buying local cloth shoes to wear should make things much better.

I bought two more packs of peach shortbread, which I plan to give to Xiao Wang and Xiao Cheng.

After buying these items, she paid the bill, which came to a total of five yuan.

Xiao Cheng didn't buy much, but seeing that his sister-in-law had finished shopping, he helped her carry her things, and the two returned to the car.
