s.p.a.ce and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 24 - Got a Grandpa (多个干爷爷)

Jing Yunzhao was already prepared to rely on the school, but Doctor Gan and Teacher Jin obviously didn’t want that .

“Jing Yunzhao, teacher’s house is near the school . I don’t have anyone else in the house . I think you don’t have to live at school anymore . You can come live with me . I can also take care of you,” said Teacher Jin .

If a fifteen-year-old child was to always live at school without the love of senior figures, it just feels she would lack something .

Doctor Gan also thought about it and said, “I also have a house near your school…”

Jing Yunzhao looked with surprise at Doctor Gan and heard him say, “The house isn’t big . Three bedrooms and one living room . Only two people are living there right now . One is my granddaughter and the other is my grandson . They also attend Yizhong, and they’re also around the same age as you . But they’re weird; they don’t want to live with adults . If you’re willing, you can come join the party, but there’s an accommodation fee…”

When Teacher Jing heard about the accommodation fee, she frowned . Before she could say anything, Doctor Gan stopped her .

“The fees are three conditions . First is that your grades must be within the school’s top twenty . The second condition is that every month, I will give a test regarding medicine . Its difficulty isn’t high but you must pa.s.s . And the third condition is that you must at least visit a patient’s home with me once a month . ”

After Gan Songbai finished, Jing Yunzhao understood completely .

Gan Songbai’s grandchildren probably didn’t want to be nagged about their lifestyle . They didn’t want adults to interfere, leaving them with no freedom . Thus, Gan Songbai requested these three things . These conditions are to let them have their free lifestyle but at the same time, to also prevent them from relaxing too much .

But with what he had said, Jing Yunzhao was moved .

If she lived at the school, she would have to be careful when she enters her s.p.a.ce at night . Gan Songbai’s medicine skills may not be as good as her ancestor’s, but he was still a doctor with many years of experience .

She was only starting now . If she were able to visit patients’ homes, she would greatly benefit from them .

However, the fee was only advantageous towards her . She couldn’t take advantage of it like that .

Jing Yunzhao’s face was serious and said, “I’ll stop calling you Doctor and will boldly call you Grandpa Gan . I really like the house you spoke of, but my s.h.i.+fu once taught me to not accept things without working for it . You have helped me a lot . I wouldn’t be able to live with it if I were to accept this kindness . My s.h.i.+fu left me some money . I can pay you rent every month…”

Gan Songbai’s face also became serious, “Since you already called me grandpa, then I’ll accept you as my granddaughter . What kind of grandpa would take their granddaughter’s rent? If you really can’t accept it, then come work under me from time to time . I just wouldn’t pay you for working . How about that?”

Jing Yunzhao paused and blushed immediately .

She was just being too urgent and forget about the other meaning of “gan yeye . ”

(T/N: In Chinese, you can call an elderly man grandpa (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 written as 干爷爷 which means adoptive grandpa (not legally, just a social type of responsibility) . When you put gan (干) in front of mother (妈), you get G.o.dmother (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 offer . )

But Gan Songbai was kind and his medical skills were also high . He had only seen her a few time, yet he offered his help unhesitatingly . She had lived for more than twenty years in her past life and no senior near her had done anything close to what he has done for her .

Her heart couldn’t help but soften and smiled, “Okay! Grandpa, please guide me from now on!”

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

He rubbed Jing Yunzhao’s head and then turned around to talk to Teacher Jin, “Teacher, sorry about this . You know my granddaughter loves medicine . She could make friends with my grandchildren after living together . Please relax . Yunzhao is a good child . I promise I won’t let her suffer any kind of mistreatment . So I must ask you to take care of her at school!”
