Su Ye had cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes, and had a good meal with the leftover braised pork.
On the day of the recruitment exam, she took a good rest and went to a school in the city to take the exam. This might be Su Ye's best chance left. If she couldn't grasp it, she would have to sweep the streets obediently in the future.
Because jobs nowadays are all assigned and based on recommendations, Su Ye does not have a high level of education and does not have any good recommendations.
Su Ye took her letter of introduction and gave it to the teacher in charge of the exam, who let her into the examination room.
Su Ye was surprised when she walked into the examination room. She had quite a few competitors, seven in total. Su Ye exchanged a few words with her competitors before the exam.
She was surprised to learn that five of them were technical secondary school students. It must be said that Su Ye felt the malice from life at this time.
Don't be a coward, anchor, just do it and don't bring shame to your alma mater. You are a compound talent cultivated by the quality education in the 21st century!
I feel sorry for the anchor. By the way, what's going on? Shocking! A generation of undergraduates are actually afraid of technical secondary school students.
Su Ye sat at his seat, slowly sharpening his pencil and giving everyone some science: This is something you don’t know, but in this era only smart students can go to technical secondary schools, and those who don’t do well in the exams can only go to high school.
The 1960s and 1970s were the most brilliant era for technical secondary school students. During this period, technical secondary school students represented the smartest group of people. Students of this era worked hard to get into technical secondary schools, because passing the exam meant transferring to urban hukou, guaranteed job placement, and guaranteed employment. As long as you pass the exam, you will have food tickets, jobs, and a partner. For this reason, the state strictly controls the number of people who pass the exam.
In the 1960s and 1970s, there were very few technical secondary school students. Only a few students in each class could pass the exam, and there might not be any in remote counties and villages. They were trained by the country to learn professional skills, such as water conservancy, electrical engineering, mechanical design, and medical care. After graduation, they went directly to factories and government agencies, making great contributions to social development.
It was not until the resumption of the college entrance examination that the country began to attach importance to university education and the cultivation of high-quality talents, and technical secondary schools gradually declined.
When Su Ye used to browse forums, he often saw old people sighing that "technical school students used to be more valuable than master's students." Wow, it sounds quite arrogant at first, but if you search carefully, you will find that technical school students are really much more valuable than master's students.
The treatment alone is incomparable. Vocational school students can study for free and receive various subsidies from the government, while graduates with a master's degree have to work hard to take the civil service exam, while others can report directly to the unit after graduation, and the unit begs them to hire them.
In this age where jobs depend on introductions and technical secondary school education is considered a hot commodity, a few technical secondary school graduates can completely block Su Ye's path.
After Su Ye finished his popular science presentation, the live broadcast room was greeted with a few seconds of horrible silence.
…
…
…
Su Ye finished sharpening the pencil with a smile. What was there to be afraid of? Just do it.
There was only one test paper for elementary school, which only included Chinese, mathematics, and art. The questions were very simple, and Su Ye answered them with the utmost seriousness. Despite this, she still finished the test paper in half an hour, while other competitors were still stuck on the last big question of drawing.
After she handed in her paper on the podium, she saw a few remaining papers on the invigilator's desk, with the words "Middle School Teacher Recruitment Questions" printed on them. It turned out that in addition to recruiting primary school teachers, there was also a recruitment for middle school teachers, and the recruitment examination room was in the next classroom.
This primary school is also the affiliated primary school of this middle school.
Su Ye's eyes lit up when she saw the test paper, and she asked the invigilator to let her do the test paper. In Su Ye's eyes, this was not a test paper at all, it was clearly a long-term meal ticket made of gold!
"Comrade, can you write this test for me?"
The invigilator said nothing about Su Ye's request.
Su Ye lowered his voice and continued to coax him, refusing to give up: "It's a waste to keep the test paper anyway, why not write it for me."
"Mimeographed test papers are very expensive. Don't waste the hard work of the workers."
The invigilator remained unmoved.
Su Ye coughed lightly and said seriously: "I think the elementary school questions are so simple that it is difficult to select a teacher as good as me. Missing me will be an immeasurable loss for No. 1 Middle School."
Su Ye looked at the invigilator with a pleading look, as if she would not leave unless she was given the test paper. Her eyes revealed one part pride, three parts persistence, and six parts shamelessness.
The invigilator finally coughed and handed her the test paper. "There is one hour left, write well."
Poof—my fat house happy water sprayed on the screen.
Hahahaha, I'm really convinced. Can you be more shameless
Your face fell to the ground, please pick it up!
I can't look straight at you anymore, I'm most afraid of your 'lightening up'
Su Ye happily took the test paper and started writing quickly. The difficulty of the middle school test paper was indeed not on the same level as the elementary school test paper.
In order to enter a technical secondary school, the current junior high school knowledge points are more difficult. The professional quality of the question setter is very high, and he directly went beyond the syllabus, but the description of the big questions in the mathematics and physics part is as concise as possible.
Su Ye was bored, so he took some time to count the knowledge points that were beyond the syllabus: the Cauchy inequality in mathematics, the derivative of calculus, the displacement current in physics, the special theory of relativity, the Schrödinger equation and wave function in chemistry...
The entire test paper seems to reveal an arrogant word "get lost". If it were to be described in one sentence, it should be "We don't lack middle school teachers."
High school students came to check in and were dazzled
Is the assessment in the 20th century so strict? We are the ** century *********... System warm: Prompt that the banned words in your account have been automatically blocked by the system
Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief after reading the test paper
I am not afraid that you make the questions too difficult, I am just afraid that you make them too simple. She concentrated on listing the equations and solving them one by one, and it took her half an hour to complete the recruitment test paper.
As she handed in the test paper, she smiled at the grateful examiner and walked out of the classroom with ease.
666! The anchor is indeed a highly complex talent with lofty ideals and ambitions cultivated by the quality education in the 21st century.
Host, what major did you study in college
Su Ye coughed lightly and said: Computer.
Looking at it in this era, it seems to have no effect.
Su Ye asked the school when the results would be out, and was told it would take two days. Su Ye couldn't help but sigh at how efficient things are now.
On the way home, Su Ye was very happy. However, among the competitors taking the exam today, there were five technical secondary school students. Su Ye sighed when he thought of this. They would definitely have regular jobs after the exam, but Su Ye might not be selected, even if he handed in a satisfactory answer sheet.
Sometimes, even though we know the outcome, we still have a glimmer of hope in our hearts.
After Su Ye left the examination room, he began to think about other jobs and make preparations for both situations.
…
Su Ye returned to the family compound. As soon as she entered the door, someone patted her on the back and she turned around.
It turned out to be He Meimei, the enthusiastic female comrade who helped Su Ye remove the blockage in the cafeteria that day.
She smiled and asked, "Comrade Su, have you finished your exams?"
Seeing Su Ye's puzzled face, she explained, "I'm a teacher at the No. 1 Primary School in the city, and I saw you come to our school for a written test. By the way, Teacher Liu said that there was a girl in your examination room who actually asked him for a middle school test paper. She was very determined and he was very impressed."
He Meimei obviously didn't know that Su Ye was that person. She gossiped to the person involved, "Do you know that comrade? To be honest, I've seen that test paper. It's very difficult. It was written for college students."
"I just joined the army a few years ago. If I were to take the exam this year, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find a job."
Su Ye said embarrassedly: "I don't remember it very well."
"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Su Ye thought to herself, oh no, she had written too much. How could the original owner, who only had an elementary school education, know how to write such a difficult topic? She had to go back and sort out her thoughts.
He Meimei enthusiastically pulled Su Ye to her side, "Don't go. My family steamed some white noodles today. Please come and have a meal."
The moment he heard the word "white flour", Su Ye's footsteps suddenly stopped. Since he woke up, he had never tasted fine grains. The wonderful taste of flour was clearly imprinted in his mind and never faded. Every night, Su Ye thought about the steamed buns and noodles made of flour, and his mouth was watering.
She held He Meimei's hand and said, "How can I do that? No, thank you for your kindness."
Although Su Ye said no, his legs kept moving towards He Meimei.
"Why are you being so polite to me? Are you going to leave or not?" He Meimei said.
After a while, Su Ye arrived at He Meimei's house. The layout of He Meimei's house was exactly the same as the one Su Ye lived in, a long single room where three generations of the family were all crowded into one room.
He Meimei rummaged around in the bed and took out a child. She fed the baby skillfully for a while, and then her mother-in-law poured hot water from the kettle and made a cup of milk powder.
Su Ye glanced at the milk powder and found that the particles were green. She was surprised for a moment but soon understood.
What is this… green tea milk powder
Babies can't drink tea casually! Warning!
The barrage of comments was scrolling frantically, catching Su Ye's eyes. She coughed lightly, and combined with the blocked content she saw in the school examination room, she roughly guessed that her audience came from an era far away from the 21st century.
Su Ye coughed lightly and couldn't help but explain some science: It is called Chlorella milk powder, a unique product of this era.
She slowly told everyone the origin of Chlorella.
During the three-year famine, many alternative foods emerged. At first, they were "vegetables", and later, when people were at their wits' end, they began to eat wild vegetables and tree bark. Chlorella was a popular alternative food during this period. In the era when there was no food to eat, many people relied on chlorella as a substitute food to survive.
The nutritional value of Chlorella was frequently mentioned in newspapers and papers at the time, and people were urged to eat more Chlorella. In fact, with the immature cultivation technology of that era, the nutritional value of Chlorella was just a false proposition.
The live broadcast room was flooded with comments because of this milk powder:
Anchor 666.
Why do I feel like the host knows everything
Su Ye understood this by chance after reading the book. Even if he was thick-skinned, he felt ashamed when he saw the comments praising it so much.
Thank you for your support.
Su Ye was almost dazzled by the barrage of comments just now. Afraid that she would be caught and asked for scientific advice in the future, she simply turned off the barrage of comments.
He Meimei met Su Ye's surprised look and smiled understandingly. This was a food that had only recently become popular.
"Haven't you guys started eating chlorella yet? I don't have much milk, so I usually feed him with chlorella milk powder."
Her mother-in-law said happily: "This is a good thing, it's cheap, and you can get a free ticket with a doctor's certificate. I heard it's more nutritious than milk powder!"
Chlorella is a kind of algae plant, rich in protein, which can reproduce in large quantities in a short period of time. It is the main ingredient of pig feed, but its nutritional value is actually very low. Babies who do not get enough nutrition are likely to become big-headed babies with underdeveloped internal organs.
Su Ye looked at the tiny baby in He Meimei's arms, who was struggling to drink the chlorella-based milk powder. Compared with the babies Su Ye knew who drank high-quality imported milk powder that cost hundreds of yuan a can, his food rations were so simple that it was heartbreaking.
Su Ye swallowed, suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to do at home, so I have to go back quickly. I won't eat white flour buns today. Next time you come to my house, I'll treat you."
He Meimei's mother-in-law grumbled, "You haven't even had time to sit down yet, why are you leaving so quickly?"
He Meimei held the baby in her arms and fed her breast attentively, saying, "Maybe it's because of her thin skin."
"She is Captain Gu's lover and she just joined the army not long ago."
The last time He Meimei met Su Ye in the canteen, many people laughed at Su Ye for having no food to eat. He Meimei's family had a happy event today, and for the first time ever, they steamed white flour buns before inviting Su Ye over.
"So this is Captain Gu's lover! Why does she seem different from what others say? She looks like a serious person to me." said He Meimei's mother-in-law.
