When he arrived at the building where his friend lived, Li Lingyun parked his bicycle and locked it, then climbed up the stairs carrying a big bamboo basket on his back.
Ten minutes later, he knocked on the door and waited for a while. Not long after, the door was opened and Ling Yunjie appeared from behind the door.
"You’re finally here. Come in," he said.
After entering the house, Li Lingyun said, "I have something to do at home, so I can’t come see you. Have you got those things?"
"It’s ready. I have been waiting for you to pick it up," Ling Yunjie said.
He looked at the big bamboo basket and asked, "Are you bringing me food again?"
Walking to the kitchen, Li Lingyun placed the bamboo basket on the dining table and said, "It’s not for you, it’s for your son."
"Whether it’s for my son or me, it’s the same. What did you bring today?" Ling Yunjie asked casually.
Taking out the things from the bamboo basket, Li Lingyun said, "My third brother grew these fruits and vegetables, and the kumquat jam and snacks were made by my third sister-in-law. There are also pig ears and pig trotters you like."
Hearing this, Ling Yunjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the third brother you are talking about your biological brother?"
Li Lingyun glanced at him and asked, "Do I have another third brother?"
"Who knows? You have so many identities, I can’t even remember how many brothers you have." Ling Yunjie said jokingly.
"Okay, stop joking and put these things away." Li Lingyun rolled his eyes at him.
While they were storing the things, Jiao Wanwan came back from her parents’ home with her son. Finding an extra pair of shoes at home, she said, "Husband, is someone here?"
Ling Yunjie came out of the kitchen and said, "Wife, Lingyun is here."
Walking to the kitchen, Jiao Wanwan saw that he had brought so many things to them again, and said embarrassedly, "Brother-in-law, why did you bring so many things here again?"
Before Li Lingyun could answer, Ling Yunjie said, "Wife, these are all given to us, just take them. After all, Lingyun is my brother. There is no need to be polite to him."
"Sister-in-law, these are all grown at home and cost nothing. You can accept them with confidence," Li Lingyun said.
Knowing that they must have something to say, Jiao Wanwan said, "Husband, you and your brother must have something to discuss. I will take care of it."
"Okay. Thank you, wife." Ling Yunjie said with a smile.
Entering the study, Ling Yunjie took out an envelope from the drawer. He put it on the table and said, "Here’s the travel permits."
Li Lingyun took the envelope, checked the name on the travel permits, and put it into his pocket, "Thank you."
Ling Yunjie, who was sitting opposite him, asked, "I think you have heard about the government’s plan to arrest black market middlemen."
