Song Wenyin shook her head. "I'm not interested in farming or raising cattle. Forget farming. If you leave me in the sun for two hours, my skin, which I've spent so much money on, will be ruined. I suggest you buy a farm instead of a few apartments and rent them out."

Huang Wanzhen gave her a look of disdain. "You should change your major as soon as possible. You have no foresight at all. Why are you studying economics?!"

Song Wenyin glared at Huang Wanzhen. "Ouch! Who are you looking down on? I give you a command and you immediately serve me tea and water. Do you believe it?"

Huang Wanzhen curled her lips, "I don't believe it!"

"Go get me a glass of water, hold it with both hands, and I'll sign your check right away!" As soon as Song Wenyin finished speaking, Huang Wanzhen jumped up from the sofa, "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go get you some water right away."

After getting the money, Huang Wanzhen did not rush to buy a farm. Instead, she hired an agricultural graduate student from the university and took her to California.

She asked several agricultural graduate students to test the soil of the farm she liked, selected the most fertile one, and bought it.

Now Huang Wanzhen had a place to grow vegetables and spices. She wrote to Xu Shengyi and Lin Zexin in China, asking them to help mail some seeds, and also bought some locally.

Then Zhang Dacai took over Zhao Dahua's job and asked Zhao Dahua to grow vegetables and spices on the farm with the hired villagers.

The year Song Wenyin graduated from her postgraduate studies, Huang Wanzhen had already opened six "delicious Chinese restaurants" using vegetables and spices from the farm. The six restaurants had the same decoration style and operation methods, and they already had the prototype of a chain restaurant.

Just when Huang Wanzhen was preparing to open her seventh store, she received another telegram from Professor Gao after many years. This time he was still asking for something, and it contained the same four words. Huang Wanzhen was overwhelmed when she saw the word "penicillin". Penicillin manufactured in the United States was expensive, and a doctor's signature was required to obtain it. Years ago, Mrs. Huang fell ill and used one. At that time, Huang Wanzhen wanted to buy a few more to keep at home as a backup, so she had to pay someone to help her.

Huang Wanzhen thought for a while and decided to ask Dr. Elijah for help.

Huang Wanzhen was no longer in a hurry to open a branch of the "Delicious Chinese Restaurant". She was thinking of using the money from opening a branch to buy penicillin.

Just when Huang Wanzhen prepared 100 doses of penicillin and was thinking about how to send them back to China, Huang Wanzhen received a letter from China. It was written by Fan Hengming. Because it was a letter, it was much more detailed than a telegram. He wrote in it that at least 200 doses of penicillin were needed. The war situation was very fierce now, and special medicines like penicillin were very scarce. He hoped that Huang Wanzhen could think of a way to find more for them. At the end of the letter, Fan Hengming said shamelessly, "The more the better, there is no upper limit."

Huang Wanzhen was a science student in her previous life. She knew that penicillin was penicillin and also knew the simple extraction method. But if she started organizing people to extract penicillin now, not to mention the time issue, just organizing people to do experiments would cause a commotion and be discovered by the US intelligence agencies. She would be dead.

After much deliberation, Huang Wanzhen had to find Professor Qiao, one of the founders of the Boston China Aid Group. He was a chemistry major and had much more resources in this area than Huang Wanzhen. If she could think of a way, one hundred sticks would not be a problem, but she didn't know if he would help.

"Wanzhen! Are you being scammed? The current government in China is the Democratic Party. The person who wrote to you is just a researcher. How can he possibly represent the government? You have to know that the price of penicillin is more expensive than gold these days. One hundred doses is a lot of money. I think your friend is trying to take advantage of the opportunity to make money. Don't let him fool you."

"I've encountered this kind of thing many times. Now many people in the country have joined the Japanese army, including many of our closest friends and family. You're still young, so it's inevitable that you'll be blinded by emotion."

Huang Wanzhen: “…”

Professor Qiao’s analysis was so comprehensive that Huang Wanzhen was speechless.

"I believe him!" Huang Wanzhen held it in for a long time before finally saying this.

Professor Qiao looked at her with eyes that seemed to show concern for a mentally retarded child. "Child, I currently have two Chinese graduate students under my supervision. If you're willing, I can introduce you to them. They both have good character and family background. As for the one from China, forget it. You two are not destined to be together."

Huang Wanzhen really couldn't hold on any longer and left the school with the letter.

Finally, she decided to send back 100 penicillins first, and the remaining 100 would be decided based on the situation.

For many years thereafter, Huang Wanzhen helped Professor Gao and Fan Hengming collect penicillin, and the total number had already exceeded 200.

It was not until 1946 that Xu Shengyi and Su Jingyuan came to the United States.

After Japan surrendered, many Chinese came to the United States. Huang Wanzhen and Xu Shengyi had not seen each other for nearly ten years. When they learned that they had arrived in New York, they drove there specifically.

"Teacher Huang, I thought you would return home after completing your doctorate, but I didn't expect such a large-scale war to break out. We haven't seen each other for ten years."

"Nine years, almost ten," Huang Wanzhen said with emotion. "I heard you can return home now?"

"You want to go back?" Xu Shengyi looked at Huang Wanzhen in surprise. "The country is in chaos right now. Those with connections are fleeing, and those without connections are also trying to find ways to escape. Why do you want to go back?"

Huang Wanzhen knew that if she didn't go back this time, it might take a very long time before she could go back next time.
