A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 442 Yun Xiaowu Gets a Pick from the Swimming Coach

The landline that Yun Jiao brought indeed attracted everyone's attention in the village, while they paid less attention to the television and washing machine that her family had bought.

"This little gadget can really make calls over long distances? It's even more convenient than sending a telegram?"

Someone who knew about this thing quickly said, "That's right. You can make a phone call from a great distance using this landline and hear the other person's voice. It's much more convenient than sending a telegram."

"So, Jiaojiao's family really gave it to everyone in the village to use?"

"Their family is really rich and generous."

"That's right, besides their family, who else in our village is so generous?"

The village chief and the village party secretary were also excited.

They don't even need to figure out how to install it themselves; there are people who come to install the telephone lines.

On the day the telephone line was installed, everyone in the village, young and old, went to join in the fun.

Yun Jiao and her brothers also went, and the villagers greeted them warmly when they saw them.

It's fair to say that Yun Jiao's family is now the most popular family in the village.

Perhaps some people are jealous, but most people are just envious. Yun Jiao's family has done so much for the village, and those who know how to be grateful and reasonable will appreciate it.

On the day the telephone was installed, amidst much anticipation, a call came in.

When the landline rang, everyone got excited.

"Coming, coming, the phone is ringing."

This call came from a fellow villager who works in a state-owned factory in town.

To verify whether the phone was installed correctly, the person specifically asked his supervisor for permission to make a call.

Just then, the village phone rang, and everyone couldn't help but peek out and prick up their ears.

"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"

The moment they heard a voice coming from the phone, everyone was incredibly excited.

"I heard it, I heard it, there's really a sound, it works, this phone works..."

As a result, their village became the first in the surrounding area to install a landline phone.

People from other villages came to join in the fun when they heard the news.

Some people even call specifically to make calls.

Although making phone calls costs money, people are still interested in it and those with a little money don't care.

Every time I make a phone call, people come to watch.

This excitement lasted for quite a while, until the novelty wore off and everyone returned to their normal lives.

Yun Jiao and the others have been in school for a while now.

Meanwhile, the people arranged by Teacher Yun Xiaoqi also arrived at Bailong Village.

The arrival of strangers surprised the villagers of Bailong Village for quite some time.

Upon learning that these people were distant relatives of Yun Linhai, they were curious for a while but then stopped paying attention.

Anyway, they bought the land for building houses and the houses are already built.

However, after that, Yun Xiaowu and his friends in the village noticed that they were going out to play less and less.

Because all children take martial arts and shooting classes after school.

The gun wasn't a real gun, it was a replica, but that was enough to fascinate the boys in the family for a while, and they even started clamoring to learn it.

The training for combat sports is very tough, but no one complained about the hardship or fatigue.

The construction of houses on the island was a large undertaking, and a sufficiently secure private vault also needed to be built. This process took more than two years to complete.

More than two years have passed, and Yun Jiao has grown two years older. Now, the little girl, who is almost nine years old, has become more and more beautiful and delicate.

Standing in a crowd, she's easily spotted; she seems to be from a completely different dimension from everyone else.

Yun Jiao, who had grown a bit taller, leaned against a recliner under a tree in the yard, holding a book in one hand and a piece of fried dough twist stuffed in her mouth with the other.

A tabby cat was nestled in her lap, and two dogs were lying on either side of the recliner. Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on her, making her skin appear so white it seemed to glow.

Upon first seeing it, one might mistake it for a beautiful sprite born of nature.

"I already said I wasn't going. I don't know anything about this swimming team."

Yun Xiaowu's voice came from outside, and Yun Jiao curiously peeked out.

Then Fifth Brother walked in looking impatient, followed by a stranger.

"Little friend, I'm really not a fraud. I'm a swimming coach for the national team. I saw you swimming in the sea just now; you have great potential..."

The man followed behind Yun Xiaowu, muttering a bunch of things under his breath.

Yun Jiao perked up her ears. National team? Swimming coach?
Yun Xiaowu is wary and rebellious, and doesn't trust a stranger at all.

"You say you are, but do you have any proof?"

It really does.

The middle-aged man showed Yun Xiaowu his swimming coach qualification certificate and ID card.

Yun Xiaowu hesitated upon seeing this. Could it really be true?

"Fifth Brother, what's wrong?"

When she spoke, apart from Yun Xiaowu, who often heard her speak, the man who claimed to be a swimming coach was momentarily stunned.

That sound? It's so unique!

He looked over and his eyes widened in surprise.

This...this...is this a real person?
Yun Jiao got off the recliner, and Yun Xiaowu glared at her.

"You're not wearing shoes, put them on."

Yun Jiao said "oh" and walked over after putting on her slippers.

She was wearing ordinary plastic slippers, but she made them look like fashionable items.

"This person claimed to be a swimming coach for the national team, and said that I had good swimming talent and asked me to join the national swimming youth training program."

When the man came to his senses, he couldn't help but glance at Yun Jiao several more times.

Wow... This little village is truly full of hidden talents.

This child, at such a young age, looks like an angel.

"What are you looking at?"

Yun Xiaowu looked at the middle-aged man as if he were a human trafficker, and immediately stepped in front of his younger sister.

Their daughter, Jiaojiao, is growing more and more beautiful. Even at such a young age, people at school already have people who like her.

But the older brothers were furious and decided to find those who had talked nonsense and give them a good beating.

They were already taller and bigger than other kids their age, and with their martial arts training at home, no one at school could beat them. They couldn't even beat the thugs outside of school.

Therefore, the Yun brothers could be considered the tyrants of the school.

As a result, after a year or two, no matter how beautiful Yun Jiao was, given the examples of those who had been threatened and beaten, no one dared to say they liked her anymore.

Yun Jiao didn't care about this.

They're just a bunch of little kids, what do they care about a ball of yarn?

The middle-aged man awkwardly touched his nose. He couldn't really blame himself; anyone would be tempted to take a second look at the young girl.

Yun Jiao looked at his work IDs and noticed that his face seemed somewhat familiar.

"Brother, it seems to be true. I've seen him on TV, although the camera only briefly showed him."

Swimming team coach Li Jianwen immediately became excited: "Little girl, do you know me?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "I've seen it on TV."

Li Jianwen scratched his head and chuckled.

Yun Xiaowu was surprised that this person wasn't actually a fraud.

The brother and sister invited Li Jianwen to their home and poured him a cup of tea.

"So you've taken a liking to my swimming talent and want me to train and compete in the Olympics?"

He knows about the Olympics; he's seen it on TV. It's a great thing to bring glory to the country.

"Can I?"

Yun Xiaowu could hardly believe it.

Yun Jiao: "Fifth Brother can definitely do it."

Yun Xiaowu was overjoyed by her sister's affirmation, and there was no trace of the impatient and prickly demeanor she had shown when facing Li Jianwen before.

Li Jianwen's feelings were somewhat complicated at that moment.

There was a noise outside, and everyone turned to look. It turned out that the people who had gone out were returning.

"you are?"

When Shen Yunlian and the others returned home, they found a stranger in their house. After asking him about his identity and purpose, they were somewhat incredulous.

"Huh? Can our fifth child still participate in the Olympics?"

This is like a pie falling from the sky.

Actually, they were quite worried about Yun Xiaowu.

After all, there are several children in the family. The older ones have their own career plans, and the younger ones, except for Yun Xiaowu, all have teachers and mentors.

They also asked Yun Xiaowu what he liked.

Forget about studying. Some people aren't unwilling to learn; they're just naturally bad at it.

Yun Xiaowu is this kind of person; no matter how hard he tries, he can't learn anything well.

Yun Xiaowu was envious of her younger siblings who all had tutors, and she also felt lost at times.

But he really didn't know what to do.

If we're talking about things he likes, he probably enjoys practicing martial arts and shooting.

Does this mean I'll have to join the army like my older brothers when I grow up?

In that case, there would be three soldiers in their family.

And to be honest, Yun Xiaowu is a bit rebellious; he doesn't really like the strict management in the military.

Li Jianwen mentioned swimming today, and the idea of ​​competing in the Olympics has piqued his interest.

He also really enjoys swimming.

Having grown up by the sea, he naturally loves water.

In the entire village, apart from his younger sister Yun Jiao, no one else, even the adults, could compare to him.

"Xiao Wu, what are your own thoughts?"

Yun Xiaowu thought about her bottom-of-the-barrel academic performance.

So he decisively said, "I want to give it a try."

The Yun family expressed their support for this.

"Since you've made up your mind, then go for it, Coach Li. Can we go and see?"

Li Jianwen was overjoyed: "Of course!"

Yun Xiaowu is a promising talent he has his eye on. Apart from some incorrect movements that need to be corrected, these can all be improved through training. With his speed and consistently good form, he will definitely be able to participate in the Olympics.

"However, the national team's training is in the capital. Do you want to go with them?"

"go."

Shen Yunlian said decisively that she wouldn't feel at ease unless she saw it with her own eyes.

“We have two children in the capital, so we’ll go visit them.”

Yun Jiao: "We have to go to school, so we can't go with my brother."

She rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat regretful.

Yun Xiaowu also thought that if he wanted to train in the future, wouldn't he have to live in the capital like Xiaoliu?

Then he can no longer stay at school to protect his younger sister!
"After training, will you stay in the capital?"

Li Jianwen nodded.

Yun Xiaowu: My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, has finally died.

"I……"

Yun Jiao knew him very well; she could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his conflicted expression.

"Brother, don't worry about training. Who can bully me at school now?"

Yun Xiaoqi, Yun Xiaoba, and Yun Xiaojiu nodded.

"Don't you respect the three of us brothers?"

Even the youngest, Yun Xiaojiu, is more slender than the average boy because of his opera training, but he is still very good at fighting.

"alright."

Yun Jiao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Fifth Brother, I'll come find you after the National Day holiday."

"And you can make phone calls anytime."
