They have nearly 30 acres of land and they grow corn and potatoes. Their staple food in those years was also corn and potatoes. . As Liangfang began to engage in tourism development in the past two years, their lives have gradually improved. Brother Wang took us to their backyard, where part of the corn harvested this year was drying.
