Entonces vamos a buscar al abuelo, que nos cuente un cuento.
What does que mean here? Thanks a lot.

The 'que' in this sentence serves as an indirect command signifier. They want the 'abuelo' to tell them a story when they find him, thus the use of the subjunctive after. Example if you're talking about someone you don't like, you might say 'que se vaya a !@##@$' or a more refined example might be, 'que te vaya bien la presentación'.

Que is not a pronoun here, a good version is Gus's. However, the correct one is Charlius's.
¡Que no te vayas! Don't leave dude!
Que + subjunctive : one kind of command
Hoy se prefiere usar una construcción ****Que+(pronombre/s)+subjuntivo sin pronombre al final.** **
Que venga María en oposición a: venga (usted), María.
Esta construcción también sirve para enfatizar una orden: Que te lo comas
Any idea on why the subjunctive is used?
Is it because the sentence wishes to say?:
We are going to look for Grandpa who might tell us a story.
There is somethng wrong with the statement. I would write it this way
Vamos a buscar al abuelo para que nos cuente un chiste. or Vamos a buscar al abuelo que nos contara un chiste.
