"Makes sense, let's have old Jin design the house for our family. He has a side business in architectural design and was quite famous in the industry, but because of his other big titles, many people don't know he's skilled in this field," said Lu Father enthusiastically. "We'll ask him to design two sets of houses that are easy to expand and build on later without compromising safety."
Guan Yu said, "Uncle can build a bigger house, but we don't need that. Ours can be smaller, with three rooms in the main building, two rooms on each side. If it's too big, it'll attract attention, but it must be built together."
"Then you can only choose a plot in front of our house. There's no vacant land behind and to the west," said Lu Father.
To the west is the cowshed, behind it is the elders' house, and to the east is by the river. Between the Lu Family and the river, there's a small path.
"No problem, as long as they're together. A family's houses shouldn't be far apart."
