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 seed to not be of the sa 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 co and live with . It is also convenient for 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 sothing.
Doctor Gan thought about it and also spoke up, “Co 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 sa 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 sothing, 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 dical studies every month. The di?culty isn’t high but you must pass. As for the third condition, you just need to follow 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 sa ti, 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 dicine 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 to not accept things without working for it. You have already helped a lot. I wouldn’t be able to live with it if I were to continue accepting this kindness gratuitously. My shifu left so money, I can pay you so rent every month...”
Gan Songbai’s expression also beca serious, “Since you’ve already called 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 co work under from ti to ti. I just won’t pay you for working. How about that?”
Jing Yunzhao was stunned there and blushed.
In a mont of anxiousness, she had forgotten about the other aning 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 surna. Gan Yeye could also be read as 干爷爷 which ans 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 sa 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 dicine. He had only seen her a few tis, 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 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 dicine. 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 mistreatnt in the future. So I must ask you to take care of her at school!”
