On the beach.
A little girl wearing a white sundress noticed a mineral water bottle not far ahead of her. She immediately ran over joyfully, picked up the bottle, and put it into the plastic bag she was carrying.
One bottle, ten cents. She had already collected more than twenty, and together with the money she had saved before, it added up to more than thirty yuan. Once she sold these bottles, she could buy the roast chicken her grandpa loved to eat with his drink for his upcoming birthday.
Thinking about her grandpa's reaction to the roast chicken, the little girl smiled contentedly and continued walking forward, her eyes scanning left and right in search of the next water bottle.
She noticed a dark shape on the beach ahead and blinked in confusion. Realizing it was a person, she gasped and rushed forward immediately.
