The Chinese people's four-character principle: Since we're already here.

The three children had come all this way, so of course they wanted to experience it before going back.

Seeing that they were all going, Ping didn't try to persuade them further and simply led the way.

As he led the way, he explained the situation in the lychee orchard to them.

They said that the lychees from their orchard ripen relatively late, so they still have some left when other lychees on the market are almost gone.

They then mentioned the size of their lychee orchard, the number of lychee trees planted, and the yield of lychees.

The three children, who had never seen the world before, were completely stunned.

But Ping-ge really didn't lie to them. That small lychee patch in the West District was really far away. Shen Qingqing was exhausted from walking there before she finally saw the place with the dark red lanterns hanging there.

"Wait, there are a lot of bugs in the garden. You need to put on your protective clothing and gloves, and bring your tools. The scissors are for cutting lychees..."

Ping carefully wrapped each of the three children up tightly, and then demonstrated to them how to cut lychees with scissors and how long to cut them.

Zheng Wanyu had been helping out in her family's lychee orchard since she was a child, but now that she's older, she doesn't play with the children anymore. Instead, she puts on protective gear and follows behind them, watching them pick lychees.

The three children picked the lychees, while Ping helped them carry bamboo baskets and move ladders.

After trimming the lowest drooping part of a lychee tree cleanly, the three children were exhausted, their arms so sore they could barely lift them.

Ping Ge could tell they were at their limit, so he smiled and told them to stop. "How about trying some of the dishes Lizhi makes? It's the weekend, everyone's home, so show off your skills to our three little guests."

Shen Qingqing turned her head to look at Zheng Wanyu.

"Alright, let's go then. Thanks to these three little guests, I'll have something delicious to eat when I get back today." Zheng Wanyu smiled humorously.

Ping helped Shen Qingqing and the others take off their equipment, then carried the small half-basket of lychees onto the bed of the open-top tricycle, and threw a few small stools onto the bed as well.

Zheng Wanyu easily climbed onto the truck bed, and together with Ping Ge, they brought the three children onto the truck bed, told them to hold on to the side of the truck bed and sit down, and then they set off!
