Zhang Yongquan nodded along, "Using local materials is a great idea. I’d like to measure things out with a chalk line in a moment. Wait—do you intend to cover the entire foundation, or do you plan to leave some of it open?"
The foundation looked to be over two hundred square meters; building a house of that size was no small feat. The size was secondary, though; the real issue was money. He shifted his gaze from Lin Yi to Lin Qin.
Lin Qin had already discussed this with Chen Wenjun. She scrambled up onto the foundation, pointed to the northern section, and said, "We want to cover this entire row. We’re planning a two-story concrete house: a living room, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and three bedrooms on the first floor, with another living room and four bedrooms on the second. We don't have enough money to finish it all at once, so it’s not realistic to do it all now. We’ll start with the first floor, but it must be topped with concrete slabs, not bricks or tiles."
