Chapter 24 – Getting A God-Grandpa (多个干爷爷)

Even though Jing Yunzhao had already been prepared to rely on the school, but Doctor Gan and Teacher Jin seemed to not be of the same opinion.

“Jing Yunzhao, Teacher’s house is close to the school. I don’t live with anyone else. So, I think you don’t have to live in school anymore. You might as well just come and live with me. It is also convenient for me to look after you,” Teacher Jin suggested.

If a 15-year-old child was to always live at school without the love of senior figures, it just felt like they would lack something.

Doctor Gan thought about it and also spoke up, “Come to think of it, I also have a house near your school...”

Jing Yunzhao looked at Doctor Gan in surprise and listened as he continued, “The house isn’t big, consisting of three bedrooms and one living room. Currently, there are only two people are living there. One is my granddaughter and the other is my grandson. They also attend Yizhong, and coincidentally, they’re also around the same age as you. Unfortunately, even though they’re young, they think like adults; They’re not willing to live with other adults. If you’re willing, you can join their little party, but there’s an accommodation fee...”

When Teacher Jing heard about the accommodation fee, she frowned and wanted to say something, but before she could, Doctor Gan stopped her.

“The fees are three conditions. First, your grades must fall within the school’s Top 20. Secondly, I will carry out a test related to medical studies every month. The di?culty isn’t high but you must pass. As for the third condition, you just need to follow me on a housecall at least once a month.”

After Gan Songbai finished, Jing Yunzhao understood completely.

Gan Songbai’s grandchildren probably didn’t like to be disciplined and wanted to live on their own, in case the adults interfered and limited their freedom. Thus, Gan Songbai requested these three points. These conditions were to let them live their free lifestyle, but at the same time, prevent them from relaxing too much.

With what he had said, Jing Yunzhao was moved.

If she lived in school, she would have to be prudent when she wants to enter her space. Additionally, while Gan Songbai’s medicine skills may not be as good as the Old Ancestor’s, he was still a doctor with many years of experience.

She had only just started out in the field. If she were allowed to observe his housecalls, she would greatly benefit from them.

Despite calling it a fee, however, there were only advantageous for her. She couldn’t take advantage of it like that.

Jing Yunzhao’s expression was serious and said, “Then I’ll stop saying Doctor this Doctor that, and will boldly call you Grandpa Gan. I really like the house you spoke of, but my Shifu once taught me to not accept things without working for it. You have already helped me a lot. I wouldn’t be able to live with it if I were to continue accepting this kindness gratuitously. My shifu left me some money, I can pay you some rent every month...”

Gan Songbai’s expression also became serious, “Since you’ve already called me Grandpa, then I’ll also accept you as my God-granddaughter. But what kind of grandpa would take their granddaughter’s rent? If you really can’t swallow it down, then come work under me from time to time. I just won’t pay you for working. How about that?”

Jing Yunzhao was stunned there and blushed.

In a moment of anxiousness, she had forgotten about the other meaning of “Gan Yeye.”

(T/N: In Chinese, you can call an elderly man grandpa (Yeye/爷爷). Jing Yunzhao called Doctor Gan Grandpa Gan (Gan Yeye/甘爷爷) because Gan (甘) is his surname. Gan Yeye could also be read as 干爷爷 which means God-grandpa (not legally, just a social type of responsibility). When you put gan (干) in front of mother (妈), you get Godmother (not mafia-related), so it’s the same thing here with grandpa. Doctor Gan took this pun as a reason to make Jing Yunzhao accept his o?er.)

But Gan Songbai was kind and also highly skilled in medicine. He had only seen her a few times, yet he o?ered his help unhesitatingly. She can be said to have lived for more than twenty years in her past life and no one had ever done anything close to what he had done for her.

Her heart couldn’t help but soften so she smiled, “Okay! Then Grandpa, please feel free to order me about from now on!”

This clear sound of “Grandpa” made Gan Songbai very happy.

He rubbed Jing Yunzhao’s head and turned to talk to Teacher Jin, “Teacher, sorry about this. You know that this God-granddaughter of mine loves medicine. She can also make friends with my grandchildren after living together. Please relax, Yunzhao is a good child. I promise I won’t let her su?er any kind of mistreatment in the future. So I must ask you to take care of her at school!”
