The student nodded, took a deep breath, and assumed a confident stance, exuding professionalism at first glance.
Mr. Ke had at least sparred with others twice, and had also exchanged blows with martial arts enthusiasts during breaks at the police station's training ground. He already had a very accurate understanding of his own abilities.
He sparred with his opponent unhurriedly, waiting until he had figured out all of their moves before defeating them in one strike.
He can learn from experience and exchange ideas without causing his opponent to lose too badly.
He won the second one very easily as well.
Others, seeing this, might think that the row of students in front of them looked strong but were actually all show and no substance.
Their confidence soared instantly, and they chose to challenge those who were thinner or shorter.
However, reality is cruel; they were abused by the students until they cried out in agony!
The first competition eliminated 10% of the contestants, while the second competition eliminated the majority.
In the latter two competitions, Mr. Ke also won applause with outstanding results, and naturally obtained a formal employee position. As long as there are no special circumstances in the next three months, he will be directly promoted to a permanent position and enjoy the generous salary and benefits that he never dared to dream of before.
It is said that a new batch of family housing has been approved. If Ke's mother also successfully obtains a quota, then they may be able to apply for one as well!
The family returned home excitedly, and Ke's mother and grandmother were even more eager to celebrate with Ke's father.
At this moment, Ke Meiyu carried down a stack of books from upstairs, placed them in front of her father with a thud, and said with a smile, "Dad, there are many ways to be a security guard. You have to study hard so that you don't get squeezed out by the younger generation."
Looking at the book that was half a person's height, Mr. Ke felt a little dizzy. "Yu Bao'er, your father will just be a security guard. As long as I keep my body in good shape, that's enough. Listen to the radio more often to keep my thinking up-to-date."
“Wrong, wrong, wrong,” Ke Meiyu clicked her tongue and said, “Do you think work is the same as farming? You used to be a farmer, dealing mostly with the land, but from now on, you’ll be dealing with students and colleagues. Cultured people have a lot of knowledge and are also more cunning. We don’t scheme against people, but we have to avoid falling into their traps!”
"Besides, how can you exercise all day long except for eating and sleeping? Reading more books won't do you any harm."
The entire Ke family agreed, and Ke's mother also said with a smile, "Little Yu'er is right. Didn't that comrade also say that if you don't study for three days, you won't be able to catch up with Comrade Liu?"
“Great people always have a book in their hands, so we should learn from them.”
Qin Yuanjiu said with a smile, "I think that while my parents are at university, they should get a high school diploma first, so they might have another chance to go to university later."
Except for Ke Meiyu, who knew that the college entrance examination was reinstated in 1977, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, okay, I can't read a book? You two really know how to come up with any excuse," Mr. Ke said, both amused and exasperated.
"Hey, I think Xiao Qin is right. You two really need to pick up your textbooks and study hard. If the kids are really going to Kyoto, your junior high school education won't be enough."
When the children are mentioned, Mr. and Mrs. Ke can't help but get nervous.
If they stay in the countryside, that's fine, but since they'll be following their children, they'll have to work hard to become outstanding, so that people won't look down on them when they hear about their children's parents.
"Otherwise, how about we just get a high school diploma?" Mrs. Ke asked her husband timidly.
“Take it!” Mr. Ke nodded decisively.
The old lady looked at this and that, then slammed her hand on the table and said, "The great man said that one should never stop learning, and I, this old woman, also want to respond to the call and learn together!"
The old man chimed in, “Yes, there’s no harm in learning more. We need to keep up with the times and have a long-term vision!”
Ke Meiyu ran upstairs again and brought down four stacks of books, which were textbooks, supplementary books and test papers from elementary school to high school!
The next day happened to be right after the school cafeteria job opening.
The canteen has a detailed division of labor, with many different types of jobs and significant differences in wages and benefits.
Those with diplomas can take on clerical jobs, such as accountants, warehouse managers, and purchasing agents, while those with lower diplomas work as dishwashers, cleaners, and so on. Moreover, half of them are temporary workers.
Of course, the most important thing in the canteen is the workers' cooking skills. The top three become head chefs, and those who can cook Western food are directly assigned to the second floor of the third canteen!
The Student Union's External Relations Department was in charge of this competition. They applied to hold the cooking competition on the second floor of the third canteen and invited the school's chefs to be the examiners. The finished products made by the candidates were sent to the first floor and judged by one hundred student representatives.
The designated test questions and standardized test plates minimized the possibility of cheating.
The student union's involvement also thwarted the plans of many leaders who wanted to use back channels.
As the head chef of the provincial university of science and technology, he prepares meals for all teachers and students, and occasionally entertains leaders. This is also an important aspect of showcasing the strength of the university!
A chef may have signature dishes, but they also need to know how to cook ordinary home-style dishes.
The exam is divided into three parts. The first part is to cook a simple home-style meal, including noodles, stir-fries, and soups. The second part is to cook five of your signature dishes. The third part is dessert. Of course, if anyone knows Western cuisine, they can also complete an additional question.
Since the family split up, Ke's mother has been spending all her time in the kitchen. With Ke Meiyu constantly providing recipes, her culinary skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, she has been studying diligently recently and has already undergone a complete transformation.
She only pondered the questions briefly at the beginning before proceeding methodically.
The simpler the home-style dish, the more it tests a person's culinary skills. The latter three aspects test both the chef's lineage and their personal innovation.
