As soon as the horse racing ended, Lu Xiancheng and Mei Qinrui returned to the ranch. Mei Qinrui stayed until school was about to start before returning to Shicheng with Lu Muzhi to prepare for her last year's college career. In the following time, Lu Xiancheng spent all his main thoughts on his mansion on the top of the mountain.

Binshan Town can be described as changing with each passing day. More than 20 construction teams started construction in the town together. Every day, the entire town will show a different new look yesterday. The excavation and construction have made the entire town a large construction site.

Compared with the land that the town cannot get even money, it is easier to get the land in the county town. Soon some businessmen saw business opportunities and began to build big hotels. Originally, there were no dozens of buildings in the entire county town. Now seven or eight big hotels with ten-story floors have been built at once. Small business hotels and family hotels have also been signs.

For people in small towns, life has changed quietly.

The same is true for Gu Changhe. Gu Changhe is a high school graduate in Yingjie. His grades are OK. Generally speaking, there is no problem in going to a first-class college. However, he did not perform well in the college entrance examination this time and did not get into the ideal college. He didn't want to go to the rest of the money and could go to it. Even if he wanted to go, he couldn't afford to go.

Usually for students who fail the exam, one way is to repeat the exam, and the second way is to go out to work with the villagers.

If there is a condition, Gu Changhe would of course want to repeat the school. Unfortunately, the family's conditions cannot support him in school. Because if he wants to repeat the school, his younger brother and sister who have excellent grades will drop out of school. As the eldest son and the eldest man in the family, Gu Changhe had to hold the idea of ​​repeating the school in his heart.

"Long River!"

As soon as he left the school gate, Li Changhe heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw that it was his classmate and immediately raised his foot and got off his bicycle.

"Xu Jiaxi! Haven't you been admitted to university? School hasn't started yet?" Gu Changhe asked his classmates.

Waiting for Xu Jiaxi to stand in front of Gu Changhe, Gu Changhe had to look up at the high school deskmate, Xu Jiaxi was 1.75 meters tall. Gu Changhe was only 1.6 meters tall. Not only was he short, but he was also very thin. A man was less than 100 kilograms. In the words of the county, he was as thin as a chick.

Xu Jia smiled and said, "How could school start so soon? Our school needs about ten, what about you? Are you going to repeat the year?"

Gu Changhe said, "I won't read it anymore!".

To be honest, not doing well this time made Gu Changhe secretly relieved. If he really got into the exam, what would his family do to study? If he really wanted to go to college by himself, his younger brother and sister with better grades would have to drop out of school. Although he was a little reluctant to leave school, as the eldest son of the family and the eldest son who did not depend on his father and mother for their own life, Gu Changhe felt that he should not think so much, and take the responsibility on his shoulders first when he found a job.

"What are you going to do if you don't study?" Xu Jiaxi asked in surprise.

"I'm going to work," Gu Changhe said with a smile. The situation in the county is much better now, and he doesn't have to leave the county if he wants to work. Gu Changhe now found a job to carry cement buckets on the construction site in Binshan Township. After a day, he not only had to make food and accommodation, but also had a 20 yuan salary. But he didn't have the nerve to tell his classmates about this.

Xu Jiaxi asked, "Then what are you doing when you come to school?"

"Take something to my brother!" When talking about something, Gu Changhe couldn't help but straighten his thin chest.

This time, I not only gave my younger brother more than 20 kilograms of rice, and a few cans of pickled jars of pickles at home, but also a pocket money of 200 yuan, which I have earned over the past month. You should know that I didn’t have that much when I was in school. I only had twenty-five yuan a month to eat some oil noodles outside the school and replenish some oil and water. The rest was to go to the cafeteria to eat some fresh vegetables.

The younger brother stuffed the money into his brother's hand in a startled gaze, and then said calmly that he would eat something like eating something. Gu Changhe felt like an older brother for the first time, and the calmness and gratitude in his heart also made Gu Changhe feel that his decision to not repeat the school was right. For him, the first thing he had to do was not study, but to support his family with his mother.

Xu Jiaxi took a smack in her pocket and said, "Let's go! I'll be there at noon today, let's have a drink!"

Gu Changhe immediately refused and said, "No, I still have something to do here. I have to arrive before noon. I'm sorry, next time, I'll treat you next time when you come back!"

"When did you guys get your hair off your body?" Xu Jiaxi finished speaking, without much advice, and said directly: "Be careful when riding a bike!"

If someone else said this, Gu Changhe would definitely feel sad. But he knew that Xu Jiaxi was a person who didn't speak too much and was not the kind of petty person. He pretended that he hadn't heard anything before and waved to his old classmate and stepped onto his bicycle.

After riding for almost fifty minutes, Gu Changhe arrived at the construction site, leaned against the wall, changed into dirty work clothes and prepared to start work.

"Uncle Yuan, I'm not late." Gu Changhe reached out to pick up the bucket while talking to his foreman and walked towards the cement pile.

Ji Laoyuan was in the same village as Gu Changhe, but there were different groups. Ji Laoyuan organized a group of boys from the same village to come here to work, including Gu Changhe, one of them, who were all in the same village, and Gu Changhe was too thin and was more or less taken care of by Ji Laoyuan and others when working.

"Not too late, no too late!" Ji Laoyuan saw Gu Changhe reaching out and picking up the bucket, waved his hand to signal him to put down the bucket in his hand, and came over and had something to say.

"What's the matter?" Gu Changhe put down the bucket in his hand, walked to Ji Laoyuan, and watched the old man's thin palm pat on the bricks on the ground, so he sat down.

Ji Laoyuan looked at Gu Changhe and said, "Changhe, I heard that there are apprentices who ride horses and apprentices who practice horses here. They have great requirements for culture. You kid have been smart since you were a child, and you have the education to try it out!"

"Uncle Yuan, that's not called a horse training player, that's called a horse training player and a jockey! I don't want to go, what should I do if I go to my house? The first year only has one or two hundred yuan subsidies, which is not as much as I earn in five days now." Gu Changhe had heard that apprentices were recruiting on the racecourse, and he heard that the people who taught this were still a bunch of blond and blue-eyed foreigners.

This news is good news for many people in the county who graduated from high school and failed to get into college, and provides new employment opportunities.

But Gu Changhe didn't think the news had anything to do with him. Although the prospects were good, he didn't have the blessing here. What he had to do now is how to send his younger brothers and sisters to college and prepare tuition and living expenses for them, rather than getting 100 yuan a month of apprenticeship money.

When Ji Laoyuan heard this, he immediately frowned: "You are going to do this work for the rest of your life?"

Although Ji Laoyuan was not educated, he still had some vision and strength in recent years. He knew that recruiting a jockey and a horse trainer might be the best way out for this poor child. If he missed this time, he might be over in his life.

Naturally, Gu Changhe didn't want to carry a small bucket on the construction site all his life, so he stood still and stopped talking.

Gu Changhe knew that becoming a jockey or a horse trainer was a good profession, not to mention anything else. If you could ride a horse and run a lap, it would be money. If you don’t mention anything else, just say it was the last horse racing. After riding a lap, I heard that the jockey who won the championship received a prize of 100,000 yuan, less than 100,000 yuan in two minutes!

Ji Laoyuan said: "You always have to try it. This time, not only the Jockey Club, but also several major horse racing courses are recruiting. The Jockey Club may give less, but the Jockey Club gives it to it, but the several major horse racing courses are not low. It is a subsidy of 500 yuan a month. I heard that if you do well, your salary will increase, but it is just a signing of a six-year contract!"

Gu Changhe was a little moved when he heard the news: "Really? Why don't I know how many major horse farms recruit people?" Gu Changhe didn't know about recruiting people in the nine major horse farms. If he earned 500 a month, he would be able to survive this year.

Among the people, the so-called nine horse farms refer to the horse farm with several independent stables on the south side of the racecourse. Needless to mention, the owners of the horse farm are naturally Lu Xiancheng, Du Guohao and other nine people.

"I also heard about it this morning. I'll give you another afternoon off in the afternoon. You can try it there. Go to the stables of the Lu family before going to another family. After all, local people in the hometown are better than other families," said Ji Laoyuan.

In the hearts of Gushan people, the local people in the hometown are more trustworthy than those in other places. Therefore, Lu Xiancheng is naturally better in the hearts of the people than Du Guohao and others.

"Thank you, Uncle Yuan." Gu Changhe immediately stood up when he heard this: "Where can we recruit people?"

"It's right on the other side of the racecourse!" said Ji Laoyuan.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changhe took a trot to the wall and helped the car on, rode on and rushed towards the racecourse.

When I was waiting for Gu Changhe to arrive, I found that there were two long queues in the Lu family's stable. One was super long, and the other was less than half long.

When he arrived at the parking spot where someone else had parked, Gu Changhe leaned the car aside, asked which one was the recruited jockey, and walked to the end of the longest line. He lined up quietly.

As soon as I stood in the team, I saw a stable staff coming over.

The white uniforms on the stable staff were indescribably beautiful in Gu Changhe's eyes. The white shirt was printed with dark flowers, and the horse stall logo was on his right arm. A black horseshoe was hollow five-pointed star in the middle. The lower body was gray tight breeches, brown half-long horse boots were worn on his feet. The brightest one was the wide belt buckle at his waist, and the horse farm logo was engraved on it. Sometimes these people would wear brown straw-woven wide-brimmed hats. This outfit is now fashionable in the county.

To put it simply and clearly, now that you can work in the nine stables, you can say that your wife has an advantage over others when you go out.

"Are you going to be a jockey?" the staff member asked at a young man of about 1.7 meters.

"Yeah!" the young man said confidently.

"Don't waste time, try changing teams." The staff looked at the young man and poured cold water on the basin of cold water.

"Why?" The young man didn't understand!

The staff did not answer, but turned to the team and shouted loudly: "Those who are over 1.68 meters tall and weigh more than 150 kilograms, don't line up those standing in the jockey team! You can only come out in one minute after you get in. Don't look at your figure. You will have to block half of the wind on your back than others. Can you run faster? When talking about your wife, you have a bigger advantage, and you want to be a jockey and a thin person who is popular!"

The staff's words caused laughter in the two teams, and a dozen tall men immediately lined up in the jockey team with their heads in a line of horse trainers next to them.

The team was very long, but it was moving quite fast. It was almost an hour waiting for Gu Changhe to line up and it was his turn. As for why it was so fast, Gu Changhe knew that not many of the people who entered before him were confirmed to be selected, which means that about two hundred people, and most of them did not stay in it for half a minute.

This result made Gu Changhe feel a little uneasy.

When Gu Changhe walked in, he saw three people sitting in the examiner's position. In the middle was an old foreign man in his sixties, lean and thin, but his eyes were very sharp. He looked at himself like a knife. On the left was a blonde and blue-eyed foreigner in his forties. He was also very short and probably not taller than himself. Next to the blonde foreigner was a Chinese man in his twenties.

"What's your name?" The thin old man in the middle looked at Gu Changhe and asked in English.

"What's your name..." Before Gu Changhe could speak, the Chinese man in his twenties translated English.

Gu Changhe began to introduce himself in English. Although he was a little stuttering and had some Chinese English, everyone could understand the whole paragraph: "My name is Gu Changhe, and I am Gushan..."

After this passage, the two interviewers' eyes lit up. Today, Gu Changhe is the first one.

Everyone slowed down and chatted in English for a while, asked about their height and weight, whether they had any genetic diseases. In the end, the two examiners handed Gu Changhe a physical examination form.

"If there is no problem with the physical examination, congratulations on becoming the first trainee jockey at PGlinton Racecourse!".

Gu Changhe suddenly didn't know what to say, and felt that a huge sense of happiness surrounded him.

Just when Gu Changhe was having a silly mood, the door next to him was pushed open, and Lu Xiancheng pushed the door and walked in.

Lu Xiancheng asked the two in English directly: "Are I suitable?"

The old man who was interviewing now is Kazuki, who is so-called money can make the devil push the mill, and he has worked with Lao Lu for more than a year. Gao Mu hesitated for a moment and accepted Lao Lu's invitation and came to take charge of the Pgreeton stable. However, when he got here, the old man entered the countryside and followed the custom and changed his name to Gao Ren. His name is quite good.

At the beginning, the old guy actually wanted to call him Jianren, so he became a bitch! So he was persuaded by Lu Xiancheng and changed it to Gao Ren.

The other one, although he is blonde and blue-eyed, is also a jockey from Mexico. He has a good career. Although he has gone downhill and left the track, he has no problem as a coach.

In addition to Lao Lu who is a Japanese trainer, Du Guohao is full of American trainers. Even the jockey schools under the racecourse are mainly American teachers, which fully reflects the good cooperative relationship between Gushan and California. (To be continued.)
