The salesperson turned around and looked in the direction of the customer's finger. She saw the lady pointing at a sparkling necklace with a look of admiration in her eyes.
The salesperson carefully picked up the necklace and looked at it carefully.
The necklace is made up of a string of small and exquisite shells, each of which has been carefully polished and exudes a charming luster. After observing it for a while, the salesperson smiled and said to the lady:
"Ma'am, this necklace is only one dollar."
When Qin Wan heard the price, he was suddenly filled with surprise.
She couldn't believe her ears. Such an exquisite necklace only cost one yuan! Her heart beat faster with excitement, and her hands reached into her pockets involuntarily, groping quickly.
After a while, she successfully took out a brand new one-yuan coin.
Qin Wan handed the coin to the salesperson without hesitation, and said eagerly:
"Please help me pack it." The salesperson nodded with a smile, skillfully found a beautiful packaging box, gently put the necklace in it, and tied it into a bow with a colorful ribbon.
When Qin Wan happily took the exquisitely packaged box, she felt as if she had obtained an extremely precious treasure.
She gently opened the box and admired the beautiful necklace again. The shells shimmered in the light, like dancing fairies in a dream.
Qin Wan couldn't help but smile, his face filled with happiness and satisfaction.
She thought to herself: "Such an exquisite necklace can be purchased for only one yuan. This time I have really found a treasure!" Thinking of this, the smile on her face became more and more brilliant, like a flower blooming in spring.
At this moment, Aunt Yu, who was standing nearby, noticed Qin Wan's cheerful expression. She came over curiously and looked at the necklace in Qin Wan's hand, a hint of doubt in her eyes. Aunt Yu smiled and asked:
"Xiao Qin, why did you buy such a small string of shells?"
Qin Wan turned around after hearing this, his eyes flashing with excitement, the corners of his mouth raised into a beautiful arc, and he explained with a smile:
"Aunt Yu, don't underestimate this string of shells! They're not just ordinary shells, but meticulously crafted works of art. As soon as you put them on, you'll instantly feel like a beautiful daughter of the sea, connected to the vast ocean."
At this moment, the children also noticed the colorful and diverse candies in the store. Their eyes instantly became as bright and sparkling as gems, and they were all excited.
The children gathered around and began to pick their favorite sweet flavors with great interest.
Qin Wan stood quietly by with a gentle smile on her face, watching the children's happy figures patiently.
Whenever a child chose a candy and handed it to her, she would nod gently to show her agreement and fulfill their little childlike wishes.
At this moment, the entire store is filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.
This simple happiness does not require too much verbal embellishment, but it can deeply touch people's hearts and make people feel the purest and most beautiful side of life.
After leaving the candy store, they came to the beach. The waves hit the rocks, making bursts of pleasant sounds, as if it was the most melodious music of nature.
Qin Wan asked the children to take off their shoes, walk barefoot on the soft sand, and feel the kiss of the waves. The children's laughter and the sound of the waves intertwined, forming a warm and vivid picture.
Time flies like a white horse passing by, and in a blink of an eye, a day has slipped through people's fingertips.
As night falls, the dazzling sunset hides quietly below the sea level like a shy child, leaving only a ray of afterglow, dyeing the sky orange and red.
As the sun sets, the whole town is gradually shrouded in a layer of light twilight, like a quiet and mysterious painting.
At this quiet moment, Lu Yu's figure finally slowly appeared in the long-awaited sight of Qin Wan and the children.
He took slightly heavy steps, each one seeming to carry a tremendous amount of force. His once handsome face was now covered in an unconcealable seriousness, as if covered by a thick haze, making it impossible to glimpse into his true inner thoughts.
Qin Wan stared quietly at Lu Yu's gradually approaching figure, and her heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
As one of the people who knew him best, she immediately understood what Lu Yu was thinking at the moment. Although they had successfully captured those hidden spies, this should have been a happy occasion worth celebrating.
However, the heinous crimes committed by those spies and the huge disaster and deep pain they brought to this country cannot be easily erased in a short period of time.
These wounds are engraved on this land like a brand, and it will take countless people's efforts and a long time to slowly heal.
She gently pulled the children over, motioning them to be quiet, then walked forward, looking at Lu Yu with gentle yet firm eyes.
"You're back."
Qin Wan's voice was soft, but it carried an indescribable power, as if it could penetrate the haze in Lu Yu's heart.
Lu Yu nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Qin Wan and the children for a moment before he slowly spoke:
"Yes, I'm back. Although the mission is completed, but..."
He paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak.
Qin Wan gently held his hand and gave him silent comfort:
"I know these spies have caused immeasurable losses to the country, and I understand your feelings. But please believe that no matter how deep the darkness, there will always be light that penetrates the clouds and illuminates the road ahead."
Although the children did not fully understand what the adults said, seeing their father return and their mother comforting him so gently, they also gathered around, stroking Lu Yu's cheeks with their little hands, and said in their childish voices:
"Dad, we are not afraid. We will always be with you."
Lu Yu quietly gazed at the children's innocent smiling faces, which were as bright and warm as the spring sun.
At this moment, the haze that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time seemed to be blown away by a gentle breeze and gradually became thinner.
He took a deep breath, then slowly opened his arms and hugged these lovely children tightly in his arms.
The warmth emanating from the children passed through their clothes and touched his skin. The feeling was like a clear spring flowing through his dry heart, making him feel the beauty and hope in life again.
Lu Yu closed his eyes and tried to feel the warmth and strength from his family. His eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.
