I have few friends, but many childhood sweethearts.

Chapter 95. Picking Fruit to Become a Poet: How Long Does Life Last?
After lunch, none of the children wanted to rest. They excitedly begged Xu Qingfan to take them to pick fruit.

"Brother Qingfan, please take us there quickly!"

"Pick fruit!"

Lin Wanning and Zhang Yi each grabbed one of his arms and shook him.

"But it's so sunny now!" Xu Qingfan said, squinting as he comfortably enjoyed the application.

"Brother Fan, hurry up! We girls don't complain about the sun. If you're worried about the sun, we'll hold an umbrella for you!"

"Hmph, you never complain about the sun during PE class!" Xia Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and glared at the man below her.

"Hehehe~ Go play for a while, you'll only be in the sun for a short time. Once you're under the tree, you won't be in the sun anymore. Grandma will get you straw hats!" Lai Manyao smiled from ear to ear and took out five very new straw hats from the room and handed them to them.

Xu Qingfan felt that if he didn't take action soon, the little ones would be subjected to a criticism session with their grandmother, so he reluctantly broke free from Lin Wanning and Zhang Yiyi's hands and got up.

"Let's go then, I'll take you to pick fruit!"

"Great!"

"Let's go pick some fruit!"

"Does Grandma still have sweet potatoes in her field?" Xu Qingfan suddenly had a craving for roasted sweet potatoes and asked.

"There should be a little left, planted next to the sugarcane field. If you want to eat some, remember to bring a hoe; you can't dig it out by hand," Grandma replied after thinking for a moment.

"Okay!" Xu Qingfan nodded, and as he turned around, he saw Xia Xiaoxiao standing at the door after putting on her straw hat.

The little girl was wearing a beautiful pale yellow dress, her long hair was tied into pretty pigtails, and with the yellow straw hat on, she looked like a little fairy in the field. Xu Qingfan was immediately mesmerized.

"Brother Qingfan, let Ningning help you put on your hat!" Lin Wanning slapped the last straw hat onto Xu Qingfan's head, and he immediately came to his senses.

"A real man can only put his own hat on himself, you know that!" Xu Qingfan turned around and tapped the little girl on the head.

"It was clearly Qingfan who was spacing out and ignoring me!" Lin Wanning said, covering the spot where she had just been hit, feeling wronged.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you coming or not? We're waiting for you!" Xia Xiaoxiao urged from the doorway.

"Coming, coming." Xu Qingfan took Lin Wanning's hand and walked out of the house. "Grandma~ I'll ride your tricycle!" he called to his grandmother who was washing dishes in the kitchen.

"Be careful riding, don't fall into the fishpond!"

"Got it!" Xu Qingfan put the hoe and fruit picker he needed on the tricycle, got into the driver's seat, and turned to the kids, saying, "Get in, I'll take you for a ride!"

"Let's go~"

The four of them happily boarded the tricycle, with Lin Wanning and Xia Xiaoxiao sitting on opposite sides of the handrail because they were wearing skirts.

Because the four little girls were all exceptionally beautiful, the villagers passing by on the tricycle made a lot of jokes and gossips when it drove onto the main road.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ That must be Ah Ping's son, right? He's got some nerve~ with four girls!"

“Going to school in the city is really different. Did you see their shoes? I heard that shoes with that hook cost several hundred dollars!”

"Damn it~ Those shoes costing hundreds of dollars, are they made of gold?!"

"."

"Brother Qingfan, ride faster!" Lin Wanning said softly, feeling extremely uncomfortable being talked about in the street.

"it is good!"

Xu Qingfan stood up and started pedaling the tricycle, but then their vehicle was overtaken by an old lady carrying two buckets of organic fertilizer.

The little ones helplessly pinched their noses.

Xia Xiaoxiao gave Xu Qingfan's back a disdainful look and said, "Xu Qingfan, are you even capable? If not, let me ride!"

"Chao! You think I can't do it? Hold on tight!" Xu Qingfan used all his strength and finally overtook the old lady from before.

After the tricycle reached Chuxi River, the villagers were all taking their afternoon nap, and all the pedestrians on the road suddenly disappeared. The little ones were finally able to calm down, enjoy the scenery, and chat.

In the countryside during summer, there is no annoying heat island effect, and the temperature always remains pleasant. A refreshing breeze blows across the river, creating ripples and stirring up the pond.

The sky was as clear as a sheet of blue paper, with a few thin white clouds that seemed to have melted in the sunlight, floating slowly in the wind.

Airplanes streak across the sky, dragonflies hover over the lake. Such a beautiful summer day would be even better if accompanied by Fish Leong's "Ningxia"!
Unfortunately, the song wasn't released until 05. "Let's sing together!" Xu Qingfan suggested.

"Okay, okay, which song will you sing, Brother Fan?" Xiao Ruanwen, who loves to sing the most, was the first to raise her hand in response.

"Sing!"

How's the weather?

"it is good!!!"

"The little yellow flower of the story~"

"I've been floating since the year I was born~"

"."

In the time it takes to listen to a song, the tricycle reached the second intersection in the lychee grove.

"Get off, we've arrived," Xu Qingfan said to the group after parking the tricycle on the side of the road.

"This is it, it's not that far~" Xiao Ruanwen turned around and looked back in the direction she came from. The Chuxi River in the distance had become a small dot.

"Come on, follow behind me, and be careful not to step on the snake," Xu Qingfan said after picking up the fruit picker.

"Huh~ There are snakes here!" Xiao Ruanwen looked down in fright; she was most afraid of these soft-bodied creatures.

"Brother Qingfan, hurry up and chase the snake away, Ningning is scared!" Lin Wanning grabbed Xu Qingfan's clothes nervously when she heard there was a snake.

"I'm just telling you to be on the safe side. People come here often, and snakes are rarely seen, so don't worry!" Xu Qingfan chuckled and patted Lin Wanning's head.

"Just hit the ground with a stick before you leave, to scare the snake away!" suggested Xia Xiaoxiao, the top student.

"Let's go. The grass here has been trampled bare, so we can spot snakes easily. Follow me, follow me." Xu Qingfan waved his hand and led the way inside.

"One, two, six, these are all our fruit trees!" He counted them all the way to the finish line and said to the four little ones.

"Wanning, this is a wampee tree!" Upon seeing the tree laden with fruit, Xiao Ruanwen immediately forgot her fear of snakes and excitedly pointed to a wampee tree that was over two meters tall, saying to Lin Wanning.

"You can use the fruit picker, I'll climb the tree!" Seeing the crooked tree that he had only seen in his childhood again, Xu Qingfan's passion remained undiminished after ten years of hardship. He handed the fruit picker to Xia Xiaoxiao, rolled up his trousers, and was about to start climbing.

"Be careful, don't fall!" Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at him speechlessly. "Go, Qingfan-gege!!"

"come on!!"

"Little one, come quickly and help me pick this bunch of wampee!"

Xu Qingfan smiled and, with a few quick movements, climbed up a fork in a lychee tree. "Wan Ning, you guys catch them down here, I'll throw the lychees down!"

"Okay! Brother Qingfan, hurry up and pick them!"

Xu Qingfan wrapped his thighs around the tree trunk to free his hands and pick lychees. Because he wasn't strong enough, he continued to pull hard as he pulled the lychees off, and luckily he didn't fall.

"Ah! Watch out!!"

He felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Luckily, he reacted quickly and grabbed the tree trunk. Otherwise, if he had fallen from more than three meters, he would have broken his leg, just like the chicken-and-rabbit puzzle he had given Xia Xiaoxiao before.

"Brother Fan, are you alright?"

"I told you it was dangerous, but you wouldn't listen!"

"Brother Qingfan, come down quickly, it's too dangerous!"

Xu Qingfan patted his chest in relief and smiled at the others: "I'm down, I'm down, I'll never do anything reckless again!"

On the way back, everyone was carrying a large bunch of fruit, their faces showing surprise and excitement.

Xu Qingfan spat out the lychee pit from his mouth, "Freshly picked lychees are definitely the best!"

"Brother Qingfan, what kind of duck is this? Why is it so puffy?" Lin Wanning asked Xu Qingfan as he stepped on a mound of earth.

"Pfft~ That's someone else's grave. Ningning, come back quickly, don't step on the grass on their grave!" Xu Qingfan explained with a smile.

"Ah!!!" Lin Wanning, like a frightened rabbit, ran behind Xu Qingfan in terror, muttering, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ningning didn't mean it, it wasn't intentional, don't come looking for Ningning anymore, Brother Qingfan will chase you away!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Unrestrained laughter echoed through the woods, carried away by the wind into the distance.

Even after the tricycle had driven some distance away, Xiao Wanning was still patting her chest in lingering fear. She seemed to have suddenly remembered something and spoke up: "Key that hides the power of darkness! Show me your true power! Xiao Wanning, who made a pact with you, commands you—release the seal!!"

"Hahaha~ Alright, alright, the seal is broken, that ghost won't come looking for Ningning anymore." Xu Qingfan comforted her with a smile.

"Luckily, Ningning remembers the transformation spell!" Lin Wanning tilted her head and smiled.

"Hahahaha~ Wan Ning, you're so funny!" Xiao Ruanwen laughed like a shrimp again, patting the metal of the tricycle as she laughed.

"Hahahahaha." The infectious laughter once again spread to everyone.

After a long while, the little ones were too tired to laugh anymore and lay back on the tricycle, looking at the sky.

"It's so blue!" they exclaimed in unison.

"Brother Fan, Brother Fan, can you write a poem with the theme of blue sky?" Xiao Ruanwen suddenly turned around and asked Xu Qingfan.

“What’s so difficult about that!” he replied casually.

Wow! Brother Qingfan, are you going to write a poem? Go for it, Brother Qingfan!

"You can write poetry?" Xia Xiaoxiao asked, sitting up straight.

"Ahem~ Listen carefully, the poem is about a blue sky, a vast expanse of blue, you can't see anything else, you can't see anything, just a vast expanse of blue."

The four members seemed to have been silenced by Garen, and collectively went silent.

"What? Is my poem bad?" Xu Qingfan asked, turning around.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

"What kind of poetry is this! And it's all blue all over, hahaha~"

"Brother Qingfan is being cheeky. Ningning can write poems like this too. Today's sky is so blue, so blue, so blue, so blue, so blue, nothing but blue, today's sky is so blue!"

"What a wonderful poem! What a wonderful poem, Ning Da Cai Nu!" Xu Qingfan turned around and gave a thumbs up.

"Hahaha, I'll join in too! There are white clouds in the blue sky, white clouds, white clouds, the white clouds are so white, like cotton, like cotton, like cotton!" Xiao Ruanwen said with a smile.

"Great!! I thought Ningning's talent was already unparalleled, but I didn't expect you, Ruan Wen, to be so talented too!" Xu Qingfan applauded.

"Pfft~" Xia Xiaoxiao was defeated by Xu Qingfan's shamelessness and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "How can you write poetry like this? Xu Qingfan, have you no shame!"

"All you do is talk the talk, why don't you sing one yourself!" Xu Qingfan urged, stirring things up.

"Come on then!" Xia Xiaoxiao proudly raised her head.

Wow! Is Xiaoxiao going to write a poem? Go Xiaoxiao!

"Keep it up, Xiao Xiao!"

"come on!"

Everyone cheered Xia Xiaoxiao on. After thinking for a while, the little girl's brows relaxed: "Listen carefully! Looking out at the blue sky dotted with white clouds, it's breathtakingly beautiful and captivating, with countless charming shapes and forms, like a dream on earth!"

"it is good!!!"

"Little one is amazing!"

Zhang Yiyi, Lin Wanning, and Xiao Ruanwen clapped enthusiastically.

"Hmph, it's better than someone's huge patch of blue, isn't it!" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qingfan smugly.

"What's so special about that? My opinion is that it's not as blue as Wan Ning's blue sky or Ruan Wen's blue sky with white clouds!"

"Hey, Brother Fan, have some shame!"

"Brother Qingfan, you're so shy!"

"Ha ha ha ha."
