Yun Qiao turned his head and saw the rusty gate of the factory under the dim street lights, and memories instantly flooded his mind.
"I remember this. This used to be my family's dyeing workshop. After the private-privatization partnership, it was nationalized and turned into a state-owned printing and dyeing factory."
Later, due to backward production technology, the factory's economic benefits were very mediocre. Although it did not go bankrupt, it was always half-dead.
Due to the financial situation of not making ends meet, the factory area has not been repaired for a long time and has an overall feeling of being dilapidated and abandoned.
Ye Yuanzhang nodded slightly, a look of melancholy in his eyes. "Yes, this used to be my family's dyeing workshop. Twenty years have passed in a flash, and I never thought that this place would be returned one day."
Yun Qiao was also surprised: "I only know that the state currently returns private property to citizens. Will the state-owned factories also return it?"
"Of course not," Ye Yuanzhang explained. "Currently, the only things being returned are the two storefronts outside the factory. As for the factory... we haven't reached a specific conclusion yet."
The cloth shop and the dyeing workshop were once wedding gifts given to him and Li Baiqiu by his parents. If possible, he would like to take them back.
However, the country has not yet introduced corresponding policies. Although we have heard rumors that the economy may be liberalized and private business may be allowed in a while, these are just rumors and it is too early to say anything about them now.
Ye Yuanzhang pointed to the storefronts next to the factory gate and said, "Yun Qiao, I'm going to leave these two storefronts to you."
Yun Qiao was shocked: "Give it to me?"
"Yes, I give it to you." Ye Yuanzhang nodded.
Yun Qiao hesitated for a moment. "Uncle, is this appropriate? I'm not your biological niece. Does Ye Lin have any objections to you giving me the property?"
"It's appropriate, there's nothing inappropriate about it." Ye Yuanzhang said, "I inherited these properties from your grandmother, so I must give priority to her wishes."
"Yun Qiao, regardless of whether you are her biological granddaughter or not, your grandma raised you. In her eyes, you are her biological granddaughter. Your name is in her will, and she is willing to give it to you. You should keep it well and don't worry about other people's opinions."
Yun Qiao sighed and said, "I'm just worried that Ye Lin will make trouble for you."
Yun Qiao knew how difficult Ye Lin was.
"Even if I don't give it to you, she'll still make a fuss." Ye Yuanzhang didn't want to mention Ye Lin. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about her."
"Okay." Yun Qiao did not refuse any more: "Thank you."
Ye Yuanzhang continued, "Your grandmother originally wanted to give you the small building on Danshui Road, but it's been rented out by the Housing Authority for over a decade. The constant stream of tenants has left the house in a mess, and there are still a few stubborn tenants who refuse to move out. I felt it was a bad idea, so I took matters into my own hands and moved to a new location, giving you these two storefronts."
"I learned that these two storefronts were previously used as the factory's clinic. Later, the factory's economic performance declined and it could no longer afford the clinic, so it closed down and the two buildings became vacant."
"You're studying medicine. When you graduate, if you don't want to work in a big hospital and be managed by someone, maybe you could open a private clinic here. It's a two-story building, so you can open a clinic downstairs without disturbing the people living upstairs."
Yun Qiao was shocked again when he heard this. After all, at that time, the country did not allow individual doctors to open and practice medicine. It was only about eighty years ago that the corresponding policy was introduced.
Ye Yuanzhang's words were so advanced that Yun Qiao almost thought he was also a reborn person.
Yun Qiao pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Uncle, do you have any inside information?"
Ye Yuanzhang nodded. "Yes, there is some inside information. Don't ask. Just know that this is a good thing."
Yun Qiao knew that his uncle would not harm him, so he hummed and said, "Okay."
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the door of the dilapidated factory building made a creaking sound.
Ye Yuanzhang looked at the dilapidated factory and spoke slowly, "The factory can't be taken over for now, but I think the day is not too far away. If the news is true, and the country really introduces a policy to legalize private clinics soon, then Yunqiao, this will be a good starting point."
"You can start with a small clinic, then grow into a large private clinic, and one day, maybe even a private hospital."
Ye Yuanzhang pointed to a row of factory buildings at the back and said, "When the factory comes back in the future, we can get rid of these old buildings and just tear them down and rebuild."
As Yun Qiao listened to his uncle's words, he seemed to see a beautiful blueprint unfolding before his eyes, and his plans for the future began to become clear.
She turned her head to look at Ye Yuanzhang and said sincerely: "Thank you, uncle."
Ye Yuanzhang smiled and said seriously: "Yun Qiao, you are worth it."
After leaving the printing and dyeing factory, Ye Yuanzhang and Yun Qiao slowly walked towards the city.
Li Baiqiu knew the purpose of this trip. When he saw Ye Yuanzhang and Yun Qiao standing by, he opened his mouth and stopped the children, asking them not to go any further and to leave.
The children were eager to rush forward, but when they were stopped they remembered they had already walked a long way, so they did not resist and ran back obediently.
On the way there, we didn't talk about the house anymore, but shared interesting things that happened in our lives recently. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
The children ran around for a long time and were very tired when they got home. After taking a bath, they lay on the bed and fell asleep immediately. Yun Qiao was also overcome by sleepiness, so he adjusted the speed of the fan, lay down next to the two children and fell asleep quickly.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Yun Qiao slept almost until he woke up. When he woke up, the two children were no longer around.
Seeing that there was no one around him, Yun Qiao panicked for a moment.
She was worried about the two children running around in an unfamiliar place, and what if they got lost...
Yun Qiao simply couldn't bear to think about it.
She could hardly think, and subconsciously lifted the thin blanket on her body, got out of bed, put her feet into slippers, and rushed out of the room in her nightgown and slippers.
Before she could rush into the living room, she heard He Yi's high-pitched voice coming from the yard: "I won, I won, Brother Yunqing, I accept the loss, give me the slingshot quickly."
Yun Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and before anyone discovered him, he returned to his room, changed into decent clothes, washed up, and then went out to meet people.
Ye Yuanzhang was reading a newspaper on the sofa in the living room. Yun Qiao said, "Good morning, uncle."
Ye Yuanzhang put down the newspaper and nodded slightly: "Good morning."
"Yun Qiao, you woke up just in time. I just made breakfast."
Li Baiqiu heard the sound and poked his head out of the kitchen, smiling: "The children are playing in the yard, call them and ask them to come over for breakfast."
"good."
Yun Qiao responded, walked to the door, and called the children to eat.
The children were not fond of playing. When they heard the call for dinner, they put down the things in their hands and went into the house obediently.
