Professor Xie agreed: "It's good that you can figure this out! When you go out, be sure to pay attention to safety! Also, remember, don't have the intention to harm others, but always be on guard against them."

"Yes!" Qiao Chu agreed, and with the farewell of his teacher and three younger classmates, he boarded the plane and began the next stage of his academic journey in his life.

Tang Cheng was very envious: "Teacher, can I study abroad?"

Professor Xie nodded. "If you study hard and work diligently, you can definitely study abroad! Overseas countries have a deeper understanding of medical research than we do, and you can learn some relatively advanced theories and research directions."

"Of course, our ancestors also said something very good: 'If you believe everything in books, it is worse than having no books at all.' If we limit our thinking to their framework, then our achievements may not surpass theirs."

"Therefore, when we think about problems, we must base our thinking on reality and basics, then think divergently and form our own judgment through some reasonable calculations. This requires some experience and a certain amount of talent."

Tang Cheng blinked: "Teacher, do you think I have such talent?"

Professor Xie smiled and nodded, "The students I selected are all talented. Your postgraduate entrance exam scores may not be top-ranked, but during the interview, you were able to answer the questions I asked truthfully and with some originality, which is enough to prove it."

Several students were very excited when they heard Professor Xie's encouragement: "Teacher, we will study hard!"

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Even if you study and work on Sifang Island in the future, you might not be back to school very often, and you'd better stay away from the bright lights and nightlife of the city. Are you willing to leave?"

Tang Cheng scratched his head. "Even when we're in the lab at school, we rarely go out! There's so much work to do in the lab, how can we have the time?"

Zhang Heng also nodded. "Yes, Teacher! We don't have time at all. As long as we can learn something and stay away from all the bright lights and wine, at least we won't be distracted!"

So, two weeks before the start of summer vacation, Professor Xie gave all the students a holiday, allowing them to go back and have a good rest and spend more time with their families.

When leaving, each student pulled a suitcase in one hand and carried a large bag filled with Sifang Island specialties in the other.

Since the journey was long, Professor Xie prepared a lot of spicy dried fish, some squid strips and other dried seafood.

For those who lived nearby, Professor Xie prepared wild seafood caught at Sifang Building so that they would not leave empty-handed.

The students were embarrassed to accept the gifts at first because in their impression it was students who gave gifts to teachers, but their teachers always found ways to buy them delicious food and bring them good things.

Besides their parents being kind to them at home, their tutors are the best people to them outside, and they are with them day and night.

They are really grateful for Professor Xie's care and love, and at the same time take what Yu Meimei did as a warning.

There are some things that you should not do no matter how much money you are offered. Not only are they unscrupulous, but they also have no future.

Professor Xie is also very happy to be able to return to work on Sifang Island.

From now on, I will go to the laboratory at 9 o'clock in the morning and stay there for three hours, then come back to have lunch. I will go there if I have something to do in the afternoon, and I will not go if I don't have anything to do, so I can spend time with my family and children.

Liu Meilan was silently calculating, hoping that the six-month breastfeeding period would be over so that she could go out to sea.

Compared with the happiness on Sifang Island, Baxiang Village where Liu Yibang lives is also thriving.

The provincial university set up an experimental site here. Liu Yibang led the villagers to dig ten acres of saline-alkali ponds in the village, five acres of which were used to cultivate shrimp and blue crabs, and the other five acres were used to cultivate pearls.

The shrimp and blue crab seedlings are provided by the school, and the pearl oyster seedlings are sponsored by Liu Meilan. Very small pearl oysters are directly airlifted in for three-dimensional cultivation.

Originally the villagers were reluctant to do it, but Director Xu and other village cadres went door to door to persuade them, and since the work was not hard, they just accepted it as river dredging work.

The farming has been going on for half a year now, and Professor Yang is rowing a small boat with his students to catch some farmed shrimp.

These shrimps have grown to the size of half a palm and will be ready for harvest in another month and a half, which is considered a relatively successful outcome.

Even Professor Yang did not expect that the shrimps and blue crabs carefully raised in the laboratory could actually survive in the ponds that had been improved from saline-alkali land.

Thinking about the origin of these shrimp and crab seedlings, they were originally provided by Liu Meilan from Sifang Island.

Compared with samples from other places, the shrimp seeds and crab seedlings provided by Sifang's seafood farming companies are more disease-resistant and grow very fast.

As for the salt pond where pearls are cultivated, the situation is also very good.

Liu Yibang was following the technicians from the Sifang pearl breeding base to select a few pearl oysters and check their growth.

Watching these pearl oysters grow up, there are quite a few pearls inside. Although few are larger than one centimeter, the water temperature here means that these pearl oysters will not survive the winter.

Therefore, Liu Meilan told Liu Yibang that as long as the local pearls can grow, some of the good quality ones can be made into small bead necklaces, and those of poor quality can be used as raw materials for seven-spot white pearls.

At that time, we will arrange to make high-end products or mid-to-low-end products based on the composition and effects of the pearls.

Director Xu looked at the pearls in the pearl oysters and was eager to try: "Mayor Liu, can such small pearls make money?"

Liu Yibang smiled and said, "These pearls can still grow for another month and a half, so they should be able to grow a little bigger. Even if the pearls are not big, they can be made into pearl necklaces. If they can't be made into pearl necklaces, they can also be made into skin care products."

"Of course, due to the climate here, these pearl oysters may not survive the winter. So this year, when the time comes, we'll take out the pearls first, and then put the pearl oysters back in the water to see if they can still survive!"

"I don't know how much money I can make, but I definitely won't lose money! We have to take the first step and take it slow."

Director Xu nodded. "Mayor Liu, you're right! We carefully buried the seeds given by the Provincial Animal Husbandry University in the soil, and now they've grown into vast expanses of salt-tolerant plants!"

"A lot of people wanted to graze sheep over there, but I drove them away! It's such a small area, and if they eat all the grass, how will we save seeds? No sheep allowed this year. Wait until autumn to pick the grass seeds from there, and we'll plant another area next spring. That way we don't have to spend money on buying seeds."

Liu Yibang nodded. "Yes, the Animal Husbandry University provides us with free seeds for one year. If we want more seeds in the future, we have to buy them. We should work hard with the local people. If we tighten our belts this year, we can expand next year."

It is precisely because of the changes that Liu Yibang brought to the village, which gave them hope of getting rich, that the villagers are willing to participate and be patient.

Although Liu Yibang works hard, he still has a lot of work to do when he wakes up every day, and he is still full of energy.

But in his personal life, Liu Yibang was really distressed. Yang Wenwen was really annoying and often came to him in the name of a school student.

What’s even more annoying is that Cao Yuanyuan actually came.
