As far as Song Yan knows, legalizing sole proprietorships, but officially issuing sole proprietorship licenses, will still take some years.

The establishment of private enterprises will be delayed.

However, from now on, we are not so opposed to the individual economy.

The current business model of Xiaohu, which involves affiliation, is quite good.

As the saying goes, it's good to take shelter under a big tree. Affiliating with a larger organization will provide more protection.

Of course, it requires someone's willing protection.

For example, they could be affiliated with a local street office. As more and more educated youth return to the city, the work of the street offices will become increasingly difficult. If the units affiliated with the street offices can solve the employment problems of the educated youth, then the street offices will definitely provide 100% support.

Song Yan slowly recounted what she knew.

Wei Aiguo was genuinely interested in these things.

Song Yan: "You don't want to be a soldier anymore, do you want to go into business instead?"

Wei Aiguo: "How could that be? I have no such plans right now."

"I want to do my part in Xiaohu's business." The implication was that he couldn't take Xiaohu's money for nothing.

After saying all this, Song Yan thought of General Shen's matter again.

Wei Aiguo also knew that this matter had to be resolved, otherwise his wife would feel guilty.

He reassured his wife that everything was alright. Actually, he was also troubled. If he took the initiative to go and see Shen Changchuan, things would become much simpler.

But Wei Aiguo didn't want to go; he didn't know what to say if he got there.

He wasn't there to hear what Lao Zeng had said to Shen Changchuan. Di Jianjun was guarding the door. Asking Di Jianjun wouldn't get him the answer.

Di Minxia overheard this. Di Jianjun had also told Di Minxia not to say a word about it.

Di Minxia was hired by him, and it wouldn't be difficult for Wei Aiguo to get a few words out of her.

Wei Aiguo guessed that Shen Changchuan felt guilty.

Wei Aiguo's mind was mostly occupied with matters related to affiliation.

Song Yan was thinking about General Shen. Song Yan had always held Shen Changchuan in high esteem and was very grateful to him.

Song Yan lay in bed, still sighing. "It's all my fault for getting angry. If I hadn't ignored Old Shen, things wouldn't have come to this!"

Song Yan felt sorry for Shen Changchuan.

Wei Aiguo suddenly had a flash of inspiration: these two things could be handled as one.

Wei Aiguo hugged his wife tightly. "Prepare something nice to eat tomorrow, and I'll take Yueyue to see him."

Song Yan was quite surprised. He turned to look at Wei Aiguo, "You mean... 'he'?"

“Shen Changchuan!” Wei Aiguo said.

"Are you really planning to go?"

"What's wrong? Is it strange?" Wei Aiguo asked.

"Not surprising..." That would be a lie. "I made a fish bone jelly; take some with you tomorrow. And some apples too..."

...

Children don't like to get up early. Even though Wei An has gone to school, Yueyue is still staying in bed.

Wei Aiguo pulled the child out of the blankets. "Yueyue, do you want to see your Grandpa Chen? I'll take you to see him today!"

Yueyue raised her little head. "Okay!"

"Then get up and get dressed quickly!" Wei Aiguo said.

Yueyue actually got up and got dressed. Wei Aiguo helped her.

"Daddy, I want to bring some good food!" Yueyue looked up, waiting for her father to button up the buttons under his neck.

"Okay, you can prepare your own things!"

Yueyue kept talking, asking, "Can I bring this? Can I bring that?"

Wei Aiguo listened to his daughter's ramblings. No wonder Song Yan said the power of blood ties was truly amazing.

Shen Changchuan used to come to our house more often, even when he was more diligent, once every seven days was considered good. Look how affectionate Yueyue is towards him, how much she misses him.

After getting up, Yueyue hurriedly ate the rice that was still warm in the pot.

She stuffed her things into her bag.

Wang Wenli was very good at needlework, so Song Yan asked her to make a backpack for Yueyue.

Yueyue only stuffed a few apples, a small bag of dates, and a few pears into the bag. It was already overflowing.

Yueyue thought there were still many delicious things, and she wanted to bring them all.

They're all made in this space, so of course they taste especially delicious.

Old Han saw it. "What are you doing?"

"Dad took me to see Grandpa Shen. Great-Grandpa, I can't fit any more bags in my bag." Yueyue didn't look up, she was worried about her bag.

Wei Aiguo noticed that Lao Zeng was looking at him, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Old Zeng: "Go see him! He must miss Yueyue too!" In Old Zeng's eyes, Shen Changchuan was first and foremost a younger brother he watched grow up, then a comrade-in-arms, then his brother-in-law, and there was also the bond they had built over the years. Seeing him so sad and reserved, Old Zeng felt a pang of sympathy for him.

Finally, Song Yan took another cloth bag and finished packing all the things Yueyue had prepared for Grandpa Chen.

"Grandpa Fang has bought me so many pretty clothes. Dad, could you bring Grandpa Fang some food?" Yueyue immediately handed the task over to her father.

...

Shen Changchuan was looking at the documents in his hand.

The phone rang, and the guard, Xiao Zhang, answered it.

"...Ah...Say it again who it is...Let them in right now!"

Shen Changchuan raised his head. Someone must have come to see him. Xiao Zhang made a decision immediately: Who is it?

"Commander Wei Aiguo and Yueyue are here!" Xiao Zhang said excitedly.

If Wei Aiguo came to see him, he must have something to say, but why did he bring the child along?

Wei Aiguo always felt awkward meeting Shen Changchuan alone, unsure of what to say. Actually, he was overthinking it. As long as Yueyue was there, that was enough.

Xiao Zhang waited at the door and welcomed the father and daughter inside.

"Grandpa Shen, I've come to see you!" Yueyue rushed towards Shen Changchuan like a little swallow.

Regardless of whether the child is your own or someone else's, the child's bright smile and clear voice will soften your heart.
