  The planting of lilies has a history of one hundred and forty-five years. Since my grandfather’s generation has started to plant Lanzhou lilies, my generation has been engaged in lily planting continuously for four generations.

If you marry our Yuanjiawan girl as a daughter-in-law, you will be given tens of thousands of dollars (beautiful gift) according to the husband's situation, and if you are good (dowry), you will be accompanied by a car, and the purchase of a house will give you hundreds of thousands.

There are no impoverished households in our village, but in fact it has already reached a well-off level.

After the lily was planted, the family conditions improved, and I bought two cars in a row.

The 1,500 people in the village have lived a well-off life in front of their homes. There are cars, and many people have bought houses in the city.
