In the end, Zhao Dong decided to add a cattle and horse stable in the backyard. He might not need to buy horses for now, but cattle would definitely be essential. In ancient times, this was a symbol of having a vehicle. Moreover, with cattle, their farming work would be less tiring as well.
Once Zhao Dong had roughly arranged the structure of the courtyard, he started to measure the dimensions and drew it up with a ruler.
Zhao Ya and Zhao Cheng approached, watching curiously.
Zhao Ya leaned on the table, her eyes wide as she stared at the lines and rectangles Zhao Dong drew on the blueprint; she couldn't understand any of it.
So, she asked, "Uncle, are all these rectangles houses?"
Zhao Dong nodded. "Yes. When it's built, each of you children will have your own room."
"Wow, there are so many rooms!" Zhao Ya's eyes curved into crescents, and she was absolutely thrilled. "Uncle, can I live next door to my sister?"
