Story blurb: (Three thousand words updated daily, ten thousand on weekends, updated every day at 18:00)
Jiang Xiao was a formidable fighter in the apocalypse, beautiful and capable. She led the last group of survivors in City B as they stockpiled supplies, fought zombies, and rebuilt a new city.
At long last, the zombies were wiped out, and they were ready to welcome a happy new life.
But while taking inventory in a warehouse, her vision suddenly went black. When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in the difficult 1970s, before the Reform and Opening-Up period. She had become a delicate young educated youth in a remote mountain village, too weak to lift or carry anything, and not even able to eat her fill.
Jiang Xiao didn't mind transmigrating. Though supplies were scarce, the things she'd stockpiled in her previous life had come with her, so she could take some out now and then to fill her stomach.
Besides, in the 1970s, the sky was blue, the grass was green, the air was fresh, and the prey in the mountains were foolish wild chickens and ducks, not stinking zombies baring their claws and teeth. She even had a handsome, icy-cold man for company.
Looking out over the endless fields and the lush mountains behind her, Jiang Xiao's heart swelled with ambition. With the improved crop seeds and tools in her space, she was sure she could transform this poor mountain village!
As for her cheap husband, Lu Yi, who ignored her and always wore a face as cold as an air conditioner, Jiang Xiao said without a care, "If we can get along, great. If we can't, we'll get divorced. What's the big deal?"
Lu Yi watched Jiang Xiao chop wood and carry water with ease, cheerful all day long, and was completely baffled.
He remembered Jiang Xiao, the educated youth he'd rescued from the river when he returned home after leaving the army. Though beautiful, she'd been lazy, troublesome, and always causing trouble. How had she suddenly changed so much, becoming even more capable than him?
She no longer looked down on him for being uneducated. Instead, she treated him with such consideration and greeted him with a smile, leaving him at a loss for how to respond.
Lu Yi wasn't the only one confused. The villagers were even more astonished to see Jiang Xiao carrying fertilizer at a brisk pace and advising the production team leader on farming.
How could a young woman from the city, who couldn't even tell chives from wheat, know how to clear land and farm? Wasn't she just making it up?
But when the autumn harvest came the following year, the villagers, who had always relied on relief grain, not only fulfilled their grain quota but also became the top production team in the county.
The villagers were convinced: Jiang Xiao, the young woman from the city, knew how to farm and had brains, too. If they followed her, they would have food to eat!
In the Lu family home, surrounded by their newly transformed, cozy home and delicious food on the table, the icy-cold Lu Yi broke into a rare smile. He held Jiang Xiao's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. "Xiao Xiao, could you... stay?"
Save my upcoming farming and development story in my author page: "Farming and Building a City in Ancient Times":
Jiang Linlin had a dream that she transmigrated into a primitive, backward world where civilization had yet to develop.
She struggled to survive in this world, enduring a miserable life.
When she woke up in a fright, Jiang Linlin was dismayed to discover it wasn't a dream. It was real!
She really had come to a primitive society with nothing, becoming a seven-year-old cave girl named Lin.
Worse still, Lin was gravely ill and on the verge of death.
To prevent the disease from spreading, her tribe planned to burn her alive.
Her mother carried her away and led the family out of their old tribe,
where they struggled to find shelter in a forest surrounded by ferocious beasts.
Looking at her family, who didn't know how to make tools or hunt and survived on grass seeds and fruit,
Jiang Linlin doubted she could even make it to adulthood.
Fortunately, her little body underwent a complete transformation. She became light as a feather and immensely strong,
and a small app called "Know-It-All" appeared in her mind!
If she collected different kinds of gemstone fragments, she could level it up one step at a time until it could identify everything in the world.
With "Know-It-All" guiding her,
Jiang Linlin discovered new edible plants and got a green fragment.
"Ding! +2 emerald fragments. Wood-element identification leveled up!"
Jiang Linlin caught a ferocious piranha and got a blue fragment.
"Ding! +2 sapphire fragments. Water-element identification leveled up!"
Jiang Linlin found clay for making pottery and got a yellow fragment.
"Ding! +2 citrine fragments. Earth-element identification leveled up!"
Jiang Linlin wasn't worried anymore. With her extraordinary skills and "Know-It-All" to help her,
why would she fear going hungry? Why would she fear having no home? Why would she fear having no clothes?
Years later, towering cities rose across the vast southern plains.
Endless fields stretched beyond the city walls, the people lived in peace and prosperity, and the soldiers guarding the cities were well armed and orderly.
And Lin, the female chief of the tribe, wore fine cotton clothes and delicate leather boots. Her beauty and elegance were so extraordinary that people could not forget her after seeing her.
In this other world, Jiang Linlin established her own golden age!
Theme: Build a better life together, one step at a time
That photo won't be recognized by the hero's biological family, right?
Did this technology exist for rice and luncheon meat packaging at that time? Is there a date on it?
I'm so fed up with this bloody misunderstanding.
This heroine is not very cautious! The vacuum packaging in the 1970s was outstanding!
This book is extremely perfunctory, like a running account, and it took a long time to write. It has no key points and is very ordinary. Why do you give the heroine a golden finger in such a daily life? Why do you want to give the beginning of a time travel for a woman in the apocalypse?
When I saw the materials that were automatically classified, I immediately didn't want to read them. I felt that the 1970s was the heroine's fantasy, and the setting was a bit ridiculous.
Don't go, don't go! I still have to farm!
Woohoo! When will the epidemic end? I want to go home woo woo!
If my father made my mother feel so wronged, my sister and I would ask my parents to divorce. But it is true that these two are too weak, because some people just like to push their noses and bully the weak and avoid the strong. Just like this old godly woman, a person must learn to cut through the mess quickly and not to be muddled. The Chinese New Year is too unlucky. If there are constant interruptions, you will be subject to chaos. If you change what you do, do it well, and if you shouldn't do it, don't give in. Compromising can only lead to improvement. Getting along with others is like sailing a boat. If you don't advance, you will retreat. It is good to combine two good things into one. Unilateral concessions can only lead to insatiable greed and excessive demands!
This book is very nice. Why are there so few comments?
