4. Appreciate:
This poem is about homesickness, but the author does not write about how to live alone in a lonely house and miss his hometown, but focuses on the small scenery at night. He couldn't sleep at night. Through the window, he saw a lamp between the fences not far away. So he understood that there were children grasping and promoting knitting. Picking, pronunciation, means gently digging crickets out of cracks with twigs. The word "pick" is extremely accurate. "The joy with ignorant children is a contrast.
