Luo Qiao paused before continuing, "I think if my ration land became Thorn Forest at the foot of the mountain, it would be easier for officials to explain to the villagers. I wouldn't have any psychological burden either. Most importantly, I want to plant fruit trees, and that piece of land is most suitable.
If possible, could the secretary talk to the officials and mention that I would like to contract that area? After deducting the ration land, the rest could be contracted between me and the village."
Gao Jiefang frowned and said, "Luo Qiao, you need to understand that contracting land involves a fee, and it's not a small amount. Besides, you're not yet eighteen. If you want to contract, you'll need someone to guarantee it."
Luo Qiao smiled and said, "I understand all that."
Gao Jiefang thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me more about your specific thoughts?"
