Record of Farming Through Natural Disasters

Coming soon: Surviving the Ultimate Natural Disaster Synopsis: In a parallel timeline, in the year 2050 of the Blue Star calendar, a volcanic eruption on Lengzhou Island heralds the end of the world. The world's four major volcanic belts erupt one after another, and ash blankets the entire Blue Star. Earthquakes, torrential rain, floods, hailstorms, infectious diseases, rising sea levels, extreme heat, and freezing cold follow... Humanity faces an unprecedented catastrophe. Tang Xue unexpectedly falls into a coma while traveling and dreams for twenty years. In her dream, she lives through the apocalyptic disasters that are about to come. When she wakes, she has a new companion: a mutated climbing vine with the ability to devour, exactly like the one in her dream. In her dream, Tang Xue goes through every hardship the apocalypse has to offer. To keep her whole family from perishing, she wants to stop eating insects, tree bark, and mud cakes; stop starving until she's skin and bones, then freezing in winter until her body is covered in sores; and stop getting so thirsty that she drinks urine and nearly dries up in the sun. She works hard to build a house, stock up on supplies, and raise a child (the mutated climbing vine). When the child grows up and bears seeds, Tang Xue starts farming in her home (keep a low profile, quietly make a fortune). After the apocalypse: In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Xue is the luckiest member of the Tang family. Her family is large, and everyone is capable. Even after disaster strikes, she can still live carefree as a happy freeloader. The Tang family: ?????? Tang Xue: How am I a freeloader? I'm a farmer. I'm proud to be a farmer. Relief station director: The relief supplies you're eating were donated by Ms. Tang. Everyone is stunned! Who is the Tang family's little ones' favorite person? It has to be their little aunt, because she can make not only delicious meals, but also cakes, pastries, candy, snacks, drinks... She can't make toys, though. But that's fine, because their neighbor, Brother Jiang Yu, can. He can also make furniture, build houses, and repair appliances. There's hardly anything he can't do, except cook! +----------------------------------------- PS: A warning: the golden finger in this story isn't handed over or shared with friends and family. If you like that kind of plot, you can click away. 1. The heroine isn't important. The apocalypse has warning signs even without her, and the country has contingency plans. Her precognitive dreams only give her a personal perspective, and she doesn't know the full picture. The author also can't come up with a story about handing over the information and working with senior officials. That's outside my wheelhouse. 2. She doesn't tell her family or relatives, because she doesn't want her parents to carry the burden of keeping a secret. And her relatives have families, and their families have families, and those families have families too. It would go on forever, so she might as well announce it to the whole world. Coming soon: If the apocalypse suddenly struck and you were trapped at home, how many days would your food supplies last? Xia Ran looks at her house full of supplies and her jade gourd space and says, "Thanks for asking. I can lie low until I die of old age." Reborn one week before the apocalypse, Xia Ran hoards supplies like a hamster and gets ready in advance. In this life, she just wants to lie flat. She won't play the saint or try to be a hero. She'll find a safe base, eat and drink to her heart's content, and earn some contribution points on the side. What's more, she finds herself a great meal buddy: no drama, strong, and, most importantly, an excellent cook. Theme: Even in the depths of despair, never lose hope.
