The president pointed at her from a distance and said to Ke Laosi, "Your daughter is very clever. With such a smart and beautiful child, you, as her father, must be quite capable."
"Alright, this time you'll be in charge of the irrigation canal connecting Luofeng Village to the Xilan River!"
Ke Laosi was stunned. He turned to look at his daughter, then at his son-in-law, then at the village chief, and then stared blankly at the commune leader. Why was he involved in something?
He's just a farmer, he can't possibly do something this big!
Ke Meiyu nudged her father's arm. "Dad, nod in agreement."
"This shows the president's high regard and trust in you. It's also a good thing for the country and the people; you couldn't get it even if you tried!"
When Ke Lao Si came to his senses, he saw his daughter looking at him with a smile.
He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the village head, saying excitedly, "Thank you for your trust, village head. I will lead the villagers to dig the canal properly and will definitely not cut corners, so that the canal can benefit future generations!"
"Work hard. If you do this job well, I'll reserve a position for you in the commune later," the commune chief was happy to curry favor, knowing that he himself would surely be promoted at that time.
Ke Laosi got excited again, his face turned red, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
Ke Meiyu couldn't help but chuckle. After walking out of the commune for a while, she tugged at Qin Yuanjiu's clothes and said, "I've discovered that not only my eldest and third uncles are obsessed with officialdom, but my father is too!"
Qin Yuanjiu grabbed her hand and said, "Sit still, or you won't be able to blame me if you fall."
Ke Meiyu hummed twice, "Comrade Qin, how do you think the canal should be dug?"
They certainly couldn't use cement as a base like in later generations; that would be too wasteful of money!
"You said the surface of the canals is mostly leveled with clay, and large stone slabs are placed between two sections of the canal. The height of each section cannot differ too much, and the width must also take into account the flood discharge volume..."
In addition to writing a proposal on her social media last night, Ke Meiyu also consulted a lot of related materials.
But when it came to actually implementing it, she was also unsure.
Qin Yuanjiu nodded. "N Province University of Science and Technology has civil engineering majors. Although the national college entrance examination has been abolished for seven or eight years, N Province University of Science and Technology still has high requirements for students."
"The first requirement for application is a high school diploma, and there will be a placement test upon enrollment. The allocation will be based on a combination of factors, including the student's grades, application preferences, and strengths in different subjects."
"The civil engineering program at N Province University of Science and Technology is among the top in the university's rankings, and it's one of the few three-year programs! The students are highly qualified, so we can ask them to help with the calculations."
"Huh? Isn't it supposed to be that you just fill out the form and then study whatever you want?" Ke Meiyu couldn't help but exclaim softly.
"If your abilities are insufficient to meet the professional admission standards, you will only be assigned to a bottom-tier major and class," Qin Yuanjiu hummed.
"There are plenty of people who want to go to university, and the country needs talent in all sectors and fields. Universities are the base for talent supply, so they naturally need to be more standardized. Furthermore, there is competition between universities, and good students are wanted everywhere."
"So, if you don't pass the placement test at the beginning of the semester, you might be assigned to an unpopular major that doesn't require much brainpower."
Ke Meiyu's eyes lit up. "I hate using my brain, what kinds of majors are available?"
“Heh,” Qin Yuanjiu sneered, “Although college students don’t have to participate in the brutal college entrance examination, they still have heavy coursework and evening self-study sessions.”
"A major that doesn't require much brainpower won't make your life too easy. For example, in the sports academy, you have to run morning and evening exercises every day, and you also have to jump around and participate in competitions and training camps from time to time."
"It's okay for guys to build up muscles, but what are you, a pretty girl, going to do? Wear a tight-fitting suit to do gymnastics, swimming, and ice skating? You can't handle that kind of physical hardship!"
"Graduating from music or dance academies isn't easy either. There's endless practice every day. You play the piano until your fingers are numb and calloused, and you sing until your voice is hoarse..."
Ke Meiyu shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want to. I'd rather study hard and get into the foreign language college."
She speaks several languages, so no matter how heavy her coursework is, it's not a problem for her.
"Then you need to prepare well for the entrance exams. Chinese, math, English, history, geography, and politics are the six subjects that the Foreign Languages Department will test on."
Ke Meiyu responded listlessly; it seemed she needed to work harder on her studies.
After a period of hard work, there will be plenty of possibilities!
Upon arriving at the old house, Qin Yuanjiu told Elder Xue that he wanted to borrow civil engineering students from the Polytechnic University.
Mr. Xue gave him a direct call, saying, "This timing is perfect. If it's later, the students will be on holiday, and they'll be going to various places for internships after the semester starts."
Ke Meiyu went directly to her brothers and seriously explained to them the importance of the entrance exams. Seeing her five brothers' cheerful faces instantly change color after finishing their morning classes, she felt a sense of balance and satisfaction.
"If your grades are poor, you might be assigned to another school, so you guys need to work even harder and try your best to get into the major you want!"
"A good major makes it easier to find a wife!"
The men of Great Xia Hua glared at the unscrupulous girl. This little girl was troublesome enough; why were they asking for more trouble?
After lunch, Qin Yuanjiu pushed his cart to the brick factory, and made a phone call along the way.
Ke Meiyu jumped into the car with her small handbag.
Everyone looked at her in confusion, and Ke Yuansui couldn't help but tease her, "Little sister, really? You have to go and keep an eye on people even for such a short time?"
"The brick factory is full of men, young and old, so any pretty young girls must already be taken."
Qin Yuanjiu also raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look at her, her expression seemingly agreeing with her brother-in-law's words.
