They didn't take anything else. They only took Li Qing's four boxes of canned fruits, which cost more than 30 yuan.
In the town, a bowl full of wontons only cost 50 cents. This 30 yuan was grandpa Mei's monthly salary, and it was also for Li Qing to cut off his flesh.
And this canned food still ended up in the Tang family's mouth.
If Li Qing knew, he would probably be angered to death.

Tang Nan was still prepared to go out and make a living. It was good to learn a trade and earn some money to support Xia Ling.
Before he left, Xia Ling made him two new sets of clothes. She made him one or two sets of clothes inside and out.
There were also three or four pairs of new cloth shoes.
Xia Ling took his measurements and went to the tailor in the village to make a thousand layer base.
She wiped the sweat off her head and watched Tang Nan leave. Xia Ling was reluctant to part with him, but she still had lingering fear. The man was leaving, and she went along with him. She almost lost half her life, and now her legs were still weak.
When she woke up in the morning, she bit his ear and warned him fiercely.
The temptation outside was great. No matter how beautiful the little girl outside was, he had to always remember in his heart that he was someone who had a wife, and he could not do anything that would let her down!
Tang Nan agreed and held her in his arms. Both of them were covered in sweat, but he could not bear to part with her.
He did not know what had happened. It was clearly a hot day, and she was also sweating, but when he held her, Tang Nan felt that he was much cooler, and he wanted to stick together with her.
The little girl at home was gentle, sweet, and beautiful. Tang Nan loved her to the core, so how could he still take another woman into his eyes?
No matter what, Tang Nan left in the end.
Although Xia Ling could see his condition in the projection.
However, after getting used to two people suddenly becoming one person, Xia Ling was not used to being alone.
Seeing Tang Nan, she only missed him for nothing.
Tang Nan was not at home, so Xia Ling simply moved back to the Mei family.

Days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Tang Nan had been in the army for a year.
It was the college entrance exam season again.
This time, Xia Ling went to take the college entrance exam.
The college entrance exam questions of the 1980s were very different from the college entrance exams of later generations.
However, science had this advantage. Many years ago, "1 + 12" was still "1 + 12" many years later.
Xia Ling only bought a set of current high school textbooks and reviewed them once again.
This year, her grades successfully surpassed the undergraduate level and she was admitted to the best local university, C University.
Once she rose to the top and became a phoenix, the villagers who originally wanted to see Mei Qian make a fool of herself immediately became speechless.
In this era, as long as one became a university student, they would be assigned jobs, and they would have the status of a cadre directly.
Grandpa Mei was very happy. He set up a banquet, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

After that, Xia Ling sent a telegram to Tang Nan, telling him about her admission to university.
A few days later, Tang Nan asked for leave from the factory's leader. He came back from the south by train, specifically to celebrate for Xia Ling.
Carrying Xia Ling, Tang also went to the town. She called Tang Nan.
Seeing that the girl was so nice, Tang was worried.
Mei Qian came from a good family background. She was good-looking and had studied before. Tang originally thought that she would marry Tang Nan at a low price.
Now that a carp had leaped over the dragon's gate and Mei Qian had become a university student cadre, her status was even higher.
Tang Nan's mother was worried that if she went out to see the world, what would happen if she despised Tang Nan?
Tang Nan knew the little girl's character. Although she would be dazzled, she was tough and determined. She would not be the female version of Chen Shimei.
Tang Nan changed the train ticket a few days earlier.
Even though he said nice things to Tang Nan's mother, hearing Xia Ling say that she had been admitted to C University, Tang Nan was not happy either.
There was no problem with university, but there was a problem with C University.
Li Qing must have been admitted to C University, right?
