Li Ming lowered his head and said, "It's not shameful to support yourself with your own hands."

Li Laoer was about to speak when someone knocked on the door.

Li Ming opened the door and was immediately shocked.

"Xiaobao?"

Li Laoer stood up at once and hurried over to greet him: "Oh, it's Xiaobao, come in quickly and sit down."

Li Ming's mother also quickly moved a stool.

Tang Xiaobao greeted with a smile: "Uncle Li, Happy New Year."

He took the three girls to sit down, and Li Laoer offered a cigarette. Tang Xiaobao said, "No."

Li Ming brought the plate over and said, "Eat some melon seeds."

"Okay, I won't eat it." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile.

"Hurry, Li Ming, go wash some fruits." Li Laoer ordered.

Li Ming was about to stand up when Tang Xiaobao stopped him: "Brother Ming, please sit down. I just ate two sweet potatoes at Aunt Li's place and I'm almost full. I can't eat anything else."

"How about some dumplings?" asked Li Laoer.

Tang Xiaobao shook his head: "Come on, come on, sit down, don't be so polite, you are not a stranger."

Li Laoer felt a little guilty and smiled awkwardly.

Tang Xiaobao winked at Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it over: "Uncle Li, this is your year-end bonus this year."

"Huh?" Li Laoer took it subconsciously, then felt embarrassed and quickly put it back: "My year-end bonus has already been paid."

"I know that after Xiaobao came back, he decided to give everyone another red envelope. This is his thoughtful gesture. I hope that this year you can do a good job in the medicinal materials base like you did last year." Liu Qingqing explained.

Li Lao Er was also a little tempted when he saw the thick stack of red envelopes. He asked again, "Do you have them all?"

“Both.”

Li Laoer wanted to accept it, but Li Ming coughed.
