Growing Vegetables Went Viral, I Became the Internet's Favorite

share time: 2025-12-15 00:30:30

Lin Xiaoman, a burnt-out office worker, quit her job and rented a barren field in the countryside to heal her "corporate fatigue". Her casual vlogs of "beginner vegetable-growing fails"—mistaking scallions for leeks, drowning lettuce with too much water, and outsmarting a mole that stole her veggies—accidentally went viral, striking a chord with netizens' yearning for "authentic life". Just as she got used to being followed by fans, accusations of "scripted fake content" emerged online, with some even camping out to expose her. Unexpectedly, a neighbor auntie showed up with homemade pickled radishes to testify, fans shared their "learning from Xiaoman" harvests, and even the food blogger who once mocked her came to collaborate on "farm-to-table salads". Lin Xiaoman then realized: what she grew wasn't just vegetables, but the fading "sense of life" in modern people's hearts—and those who followed her were actually rediscovering how to "live well" with her.
