After the Republic of China

Chapter 1019 Inquiry
Finishing schoolwork early is not something that can be decided in one or two days, nor is it something that an ordinary person can accomplish. It requires a very smart and determined person.

Hu Ping knew that Shao Yunshi was smart, but she didn't expect that she could graduate so early.

For a moment, Hu Ping showed surprise and confusion on his face. After all, no one would do this, and the Shao family was financially well-off, so there was no need to do this.

Shao Yunshi saw this and said with a smile, "I just finished my major of foreign literature history early. As for medicine and pharmaceuticals, I still need to study for a while longer."

Shao Yunshi is very interested in medicine, but she has no plans to become a doctor, so she is not under any pressure and has no plans to take any certification exams.

Hu Ping was not very interested in the two subjects that Shao Yunshi had learned. After hearing this, she heaved a sigh of relief and praised: "That's good. You have a very good foundation in literature. You can be hired as a professor."

Shao Yunshi couldn't respond to this, so she said awkwardly, "Thank you for your praise, teacher. I'm glad I can pass the exam and get the certificate."

"You, like your aunt, are too modest," Hu Ping said happily.

Shao Yunshi didn't think her aunt was modest. However, she couldn't respond to this, so she smiled and said, "My aunt doesn't work anymore, she just stays at home to take care of the children."

Hu Ping smiled and said, "It's rare for someone with her temperament to be able to endure this."

Shao Yunshi said helplessly: "It's mainly because my cousin came too late, so my aunt and uncle treasured it a little."

Hu Ping thought of her own son and agreed, "Yes, now I don't dare to leave Pingtong alone. If it weren't so cold, I would definitely bring him to school."

Shao Yunshi smiled and said, "How pitiful are the parents in the world."

Seeing her like this, Hu Ping laughed a little, "You are expressing your feelings."

Shao Yunshi blushed and changed the subject, "Teacher Hu, where did you spend New Year's Day this year?"

Hu Ping was stunned for a moment and replied, "I don't know yet."

Shao Yunshi was just asking in vain. Seeing that Hu Ping didn't know, she didn't say much.

It hasn't rained much in Shanghai since the twelfth month of winter.

Today, the wind is gentle and the sun is shining in the pavilion, making it warm.

However, because Shao Yunshi asked how she spent New Year's Day, Hu Ping did not answer for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward and depressing.

Hu Ping didn't notice this embarrassment. She had been worried recently. The organization in Shanghai had suffered great damage. The existing leadership structure was not perfect and had lost contact with the central government.

Although she was just an ordinary underground worker, she also felt confused about the road ahead.

Originally, she wanted to develop Shao Yunshi, but now, she can only wait for the opportunity.

What's more, if she celebrated this foreign festival at home, she would probably have to entertain the relatives from the Ji family. Now, she really disliked those people.

Seeing that she was frowning, Shao Yunshi knew that she might have touched her sore spot. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, Hu Ping only thought about it for a while and then came back to his senses.

When she saw Shao Yunshi standing quietly by her side, she admired the Shao family's upbringing.

She felt better and asked, "Is your aunt coming back to celebrate the New Year this year?"

This was just a casual chat. Shao Yunshi couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or something else. After all, she wanted to learn from Hu Ping about some of the current affairs of the organization in Shanghai.

I also wondered if I could be invited on New Year's Day, and if so, whether I could meet Commissioner Ji. Then, maybe I could get some information.

After a brief pause, Shao Yunshi regained her composure and smiled, saying, "Aunt will probably not come back in the next few years. My cousin is too young, and she is reluctant to bring him out."

Hu Ping thought about herself and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. What about you? Are you going to Wuhan for the New Year, or going home?" Shao Yunshi said, "My grandparents are all in Shanghai for the New Year this year, so I'll stay here."

At this time, Shao Yunshi was certain that Hu Ping had no intention of holding a New Year's Day party because she only talked about the Lunar New Year.

This festival is not like the Gregorian New Year, where you can have banquets and dances to have a good time. This festival is about family reunion.

Hu Ping didn't know that Shao Yunshi had thought so much about just one sentence.

At this moment, she thought about Shao Yunshi's situation and said sympathetically, "The situation outside is tense recently, so don't post your progressive articles for now. Wait for my letter later."

If it were in the past, when she was alone, she would definitely invite Shao Yunshi to celebrate the New Year together, but now she has a family to take care of, so she can only care for her from other perspectives.

Seeing that she took the initiative to bring up the current situation, Shao Yunshi was happy. She opened her eyes wide and said, "It's really chaotic outside, people are being arrested everywhere. It seems to have eased a bit these days."

Hu Ping was also very upset. After hearing this, he sighed, "Yes, too many people have been arrested. People in this chaotic world are feeling depressed."

Shao Yunshi rolled her eyes and said, "Teacher, I heard that the underground and underground party organizations in Shanghai suffered a lot. Is it true?"

Hu Ping was startled by her and looked around. Seeing no one, she lowered her voice and said, "Child, don't say such things casually. Don't say them again in the future."

Shao Yunshi learned from her lesson and simply changed the subject, "I didn't say it anywhere else, I just heard some of it, saw some of it on the street, and there were a lot of reports in the newspapers, so I became curious."

"The reports in the newspapers may not all be true. Although there are some shadows to them, there are many people who exaggerate the facts." Hu Ping said bitterly.

Shao Yunshi asked again tentatively: "I heard that the situation in Jiangxi is very bad and they will be wiped out soon. Teacher, do you think it is true?"

This was really a taboo, but fortunately, Hu Ping had already intended to test Shao Yunshi, so he did not refuse to answer, "It was true that it was tragic, but it was false that she was eliminated."

Shao Yunshi was a little excited when she heard these words. "Are you telling the truth?"

Hu Ping did not hide it, "You know, your uncle Ji works in the government, and his information is very accurate, so don't believe the propaganda in the newspapers."

This was already very explicit, Shao Yunshi did not dare to go any further, "Yes, I know. By the way, did you stop writing during this period?"

Hu Ping was very satisfied that Shao Yunshi knew her limits and didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and replied, "I won't stop, but you are different from me, so you must listen to me."

Shao Yunshi just asked tentatively, and seeing this, she quickly replied: "Okay, I won't write it anymore."

Hu Ping looked at the beautiful women like flowers and felt that everything they did, no matter how great the sacrifices, were worth it.

It was impossible for the two of them to talk about any deep topics, so they chatted casually for a while and then dispersed.

As for Shao Yunshi's plan to graduate early, with Hu Ping's guarantee, it will definitely be possible.

This is also the main content of the meeting between the two today.

However, Shao Yunshi did not learn any deeper news from Hu Ping, and she became even more worried, knowing that the current situation might be even more difficult.

When I got home, Feihong and others were waiting for me.

Seeing her come back, they all went forward.

Shao Yunshi shook her head, indicating that she had not found out anything.

Feihong said regretfully: "What should we do then? Should we continue to purchase medicinal materials?"

Shao Yunshi thought about it and decided, "We still have to buy medicinal materials, and in large quantities."
