v2 Chapter 1347: .Place veterans
Don't do it if you haven't figured it out, Qin Shiou retracted the seagod consciousness, even if it only strengthened the previous ability, he was satisfied with the eight seagod consciousnesses he had now, so that his control over the ocean would be even stronger.
Only chaotic dirty water remained in the bathtub. Qin Shiou pulled out the plug to let the dirty water flow down, and then lay down on the bed contentedly.
At dinner time, Auerbach called and asked him to accompany the veteran to dinner.
Qin Shiou hurriedly cleaned up. He has received such a great benefit from the veteran, and he deserves to repay others. This kind of repayment is not only material, but also spiritual and psychological. He must respect the veteran.
Moreover, the personality of the veteran is worthy of his respect. If it were him, he would not be able to guarantee that he would collect a gift that was useless to him for decades, and put it on ordinary people. This ambergris would have been thrown away long ago.
Qin Shiou took the veteran to a Chinese restaurant. The decoration style was quite luxurious. The veteran grumbled when he entered, saying that he had not eaten in such a restaurant since he moved.
When serving, the first thing that came up was a large bowl of wide noodles, decorated with green vegetables, floating meat, the wide noodles were white in color, and there were engraved patterns on the top.
This Chinese restaurant was specially searched by Qin Shiou on the Internet. It is good at making noodles. It is considered one of the best noodle restaurants in Vancouver. Of course, the price is not low. Such a bowl of noodles costs more than 60 yuan, which is enough for ordinary people to eat. It's a meal.
Seeing this bowl of wide noodles, the old man laughed and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Qin, you really have a heart."
During the meal, Qin Shiou asked Auerbach about going to the day nursery. The old lawyer nodded and said: "He is very happy. He knows more about that veteran day nursery than we do. Obviously he has entered before. Plan."
As for why I didn’t go there in the end, the reason is very simple. There must be not so much money.
Canadian citizen welfare is among the top countries in the world, such as free medical care for all, complete public facilities, 12 years of free education, etc., but the prerequisite for enjoying these is that you have to pay taxes and have social insurance, otherwise everything is exempt from negotiation.
Take free education as an example. Can children of all families enjoy the benefits of free education? No, it is available to families who pay education tax, which is about five hundred Canadian dollars a year.
The veteran does not have social security, nor does he have a pension to take. It is not that he did not work hard when he was young, but that he suffered too much unfairness.
During World War II, veterans gave up their lives for Canada, but after the war ended. They were retired semi-mandatory. They left the army to work. Because of discrimination, they couldn’t find a decent job at all. They could only take part-time jobs. Not only did they have low income, but there was no company to pay them social security...
But Chen veteran was very open when he chatted about these topics at the dinner table. He chuckled and said: "Later, the discrimination situation in Canada was not very serious. Our efforts were also rewarding. You are like our Chinese who made contributions to this country in the war. Not many years after the end of World War II, the government cancelled it. Discriminatory policies against ethnic Chinese."
Without social security, no pension, it is very difficult for veterans to enter the daycare center, because daycare centers are not the basic welfare of the state, but are private commercial organizations that require fees.
The good point is that given the increasing need for adult daycare. Provincial governments in Canada have begun to invest in and fund this service. Universities and colleges also provide courses on elderly care. Now adult daycare has become an emerging opportunity for education and businesses in Canada.
Most of the adult daycare services in British Columbia are subsidized by the provincial government, and private individuals need to pay. The average is 1100 yuan per month. Of course, different day nurseries require different expenses. The main expenses of Vancouver's veteran day nurseries are borne by the government. Private individuals only need to bear about 600 yuan a month.
Even so, veterans can't afford it.
Of course, the money was a trivial matter to Qin Shiou. Early the next morning, they set off by car to Vancouver and contacted the veteran day nursery.
This daycare is located in the suburbs of Vancouver, with a beautiful environment and in a natural park. The interior of the daycare is arranged in a military camp, with trenches dug in some places, guards at the door, and even artillery tanks. Exhibition.
Auerbach contacted the person in charge of the daycare in advance. After they arrived, a woman in military uniform took them to visit.
While introducing the facilities, the service staff also introduced their characteristics: "We can provide different services according to the payment, but even the lowest-grade services can meet the life needs of an old gentleman, such as haircuts, bathing assistance, and treatment. Garbage, laundry, organizing events, etc."
Qin Shiou took a circle inside and found that the daycare provided a lot of activities, such as bowling, handicraft making, chess and poker games, pet visitors, shopping trips and some light physical competitions.
He was interested in tiered fees, and asked: "How much is the highest grade? What service is provided?"
The service staff said: “The most high-end is 2,800 yuan per month, which can provide accommodation in single rooms, with special escorts, meals can be customized according to taste and physical condition, birthdays are carried out independently, and so on.”
After Qin Shiou figured it out, he asked the veteran how he felt about here, and the veteran smiled comfortedly: "It's pretty good, it's really nice here, so many old folks, of course it's better than living alone."
In this case, Qin Shiou went to pay directly. He first paid for one year, and then left his contact information. After one year, the veteran day nursery could contact him for the fee every month.
"According to the highest grade, if my grandpa has any questions, please contact me in time." Qin Shiou said.
Money is popular everywhere. The service staff said with a smile after listening to his words: "Please rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will take care of this respectable veteran. We will send you an email every week. , To introduce Mr. Zhou’s physical condition and life details."
Qin Shiou nodded, and went to tell the veteran that he could live here at ease in the future and enjoy the highest standard of service.
The rest is moving. Just bring some reluctant items from the veteran’s home. He directed the moving company to finish all the work for a day, and then he was ready to go back.
When we parted, the veteran held Qin Shiou’s hand in tears again: "I must have done something good in my previous life. I can know your family in this life. Brother Qin has saved me several times. You helped me to settle my old age. I don’t know. What should I say."
Qin Shiou hugged the veteran and said, “Grandpa Chen, don’t think too much about it. This is what I should do. I am also grateful for your charitable act of keeping that piece of gray amber for my grandpa.” (to be continued~^~)
