Today, Grandfather and Grandmother Ji were talking about which of their grandsons they should marry Gu Qingyao to.
“For matchmaking, we must consider the oldest one first but he has such a wide age gap with Yao Yao. Would Yao Yao be unwilling? Once she is unwilling, it would be hard for us to discuss with her.”
Grandfather Ji nodded. “You’re right. Once she is dissatisfied with the first one, it would be even harder to discuss the next one. We can’t possibly let her marry the younger sibling just because the older one failed. We still have to interact together in the same house in the future. How awkward would that be?”
“The second grandson then?” Grandmother Ji said, “The second one is not young anymore but his personality is not likable. He is too nasty. I’m afraid Yao Yao would not like him.”
“The third grandson then?” Grandfather Ji frowned. “The third one is too cunning and has many girls who like him. Yao Yao definitely won’t like him.”
“Only the fourth one is left then!”
“The fourth grandson’s age is similar but he is like a child and doesn’t know how to dote on others!”
…
The two elderlies were discussing fervently; smiles plastered across their faces immediately when Gu Qingyao came.
“Yao Yao, you’re here! Come here. Come in and sit quickly. It’s too hot outside. Don’t get burnt.”
Gu Qingyao smiled brilliantly. “It’s all right, Grandfather Ji. It’s not too hot outside right now.”
“I’ll take a look at the condition of the patient from yesterday.”
Gu Qingyao was very serious about treating patients and Old Master Ji was extremely satisfied with this point about her.
All his grandsons were unwilling to study medicine which angered him greatly. Now, he finally met a young girl who was not only willing to study medicine but also very skilled in it.
“Run along! But don’t tire yourself out! Look for me if you don’t know anything. I’ll explain it to you.”
“Okay!”
After Gu Qingyao left, Old Master Ji and Grandmother Ji watched her leave lovingly.
Grandmother Ji, especially, was smiling like a flower. “I’m more and more satisfied when I look at this child. She’s truly too good-looking.”
Old Master Ji: …
He knew that his wife liked good-looking kids and he was used to it after an entire lifetime with her.
A shout suddenly came from outside as the two were talking. “Grandfather, Grandmother, I’m back!”
Grandfather and Grandmother Ji were taken aback and before they could react, they saw that their eldest grandson was home.
“Ah! Mingzhe! You’re back!”
Grandmother Ji was delighted!
Mo Beihan and Ji Mingzhe finally reached the provincial capital after days of travel by train.
Mo Beihan was rushing to go to the Gu family’s house to look for Gu Qingyao but he was pulled by Ji Mingzhe to visit his grandparents.
The Ji family’s house was on their way while the Gu’s was on the other side and he would only reach after walking for some time. Since Mo Beihan was already here, it was not too nice for him to walk away instead of greeting the elderlies as they were, after all, his brother’s grandparents.
Thus, he was here.
Looking at his grandparents, Ji Mingzhe smiled and introduced Mo Beihan. “Grandfather, Grandmother, this is Mo Beihan. I told you all about him so many times but you all never met him before. You all finally meet him this time.”
“We transferred over to work here and can come frequently in the future.”
Grandmother Ji immediately took a fancy for Mo Beihan the moment she saw him and broke into a smile. “So this is Mo Beihan! You’re really good-looking. I like you. Come and play at our house frequently!”
“We know about what happened to you and Mingzhe. From now on, the Ji family is like your own family. Don’t stand on ceremony. Quick, come in and sit. You all must be tired after such a long train ride!”
Grandmother Ji was extremely friendly to Mo Beihan and her face was filled with love. This child was really good-looking and even better looking than her own grandson.
