Chapter 1458 is a physical education class, not a practical class.
However, the next moment, Shu Yu frowned again, "But what can that piece of land be used for? I can't grow sunflowers."
Sunflowers love the sun, but that field was too close to the hilltop, blocking out all the sunlight.
This is why, when Shu Yu wanted to expand her sunflower field, she didn't directly buy the nearby land but instead chose a new location.
Meng Yunzheng had also thought about this problem.
"I'll ask my uncle to come and take a look. If we don't plant grains, how about fruit trees or vegetables? Didn't you say that scholars need strong bodies? We could add a physical fitness class. I think it's a good idea. Once that land is cleared, the students can grow vegetables and fruit trees, support themselves, and even supplement the kitchen's food supply, saving us from buying them."
Shu Yu, "..."
The "fitness class" she mentioned refers to physical education, which involves running laps, doing push-ups, or squatting in a horse stance at school. She didn't mean taking people down the mountain for a practical class.
Moreover, the vegetables from two miles away, if harvested, would not only be enough to supplement the academy's kitchen, but would they even be unnecessary to buy?
"You don't think it's good?" Meng Yunzheng asked.
Shu Yu immediately shook her head, her expression serious. "I think it's excellent. This way, students can understand the hard work of farming and avoid wasting food. Letting them experience life might inspire them to write more authentically, right?"
Meng Yunzheng laughed, "I think so too, then..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Ah Ning's voice from outside, "Second sister, second sister, I'm back."
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng exchanged a glance, then both looked towards the doorway.
The study door was open, and Ying Xi was standing outside. Shu Yu waved to A Ning, and the little girl's eyes lit up. She ran inside in a few moments.
Upon seeing Meng Yunzheng, she was slightly taken aback, then became even happier, "Brother Meng."
"A-Ning is back? Where is your master?"
"Master went to see my brother-in-law and said he wanted to discuss opening a clinic." A-Ning climbed onto a chair, sat down obediently, and swung her legs around.
She had a bundle slung over her shoulder, which looked quite comical.
Shu Yu found it amusing and went over to take the bundle down. "You came straight here to see your second sister as soon as you walked in? You haven't even put the bundle down yet."
Seeing that the little girl's forehead was covered in sweat, he quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it for her and poured her a glass of water.
"Why are you running so fast in this sweltering heat?"
Ah Ning gulped down a few mouthfuls, let out a comfortable sigh, and said, "Well, I have something important to tell you, so of course I rushed over here."
"Important matter?" Shu Yu's first thought was that the Tan family was looking for the murderer.
Sure enough, A Ning said, "Second Sister, after you left, Young Master Tan started thinking in the direction you suggested. He didn't dare to think too hard, so after so many days, he finally managed to recall some things that he thought were useful."
Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng straightened their backs at the same time. "Come on, have some more water. Let's talk slowly. Who are the suspects of Young Master Tan?"
Ah Ning took two more sips of water from her hand, then got off the chair and opened the bundle she had brought.
Shu Yu looked at her actions with suspicion, and then saw A Ning take out several scrolls from her bundle.
"What's this?"
"Hehe, Master knows you care a lot, so he made up an excuse to coax Young Master Tan into drawing all the suspected murderers."
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, "Dr. Zhao is really very thoughtful."
