1347. placement of veterans

If you don't figure it out, just stop doing it. Qin Shiou retracted the sea god consciousness, even if it was just strengthening his previous abilities. He was very satisfied with the eight sea god consciousnesses he now had, so that he would have stronger control over the ocean.

There was only chaotic dirty water left in the bathtub. Qin Shiou pulled out the plug and let the dirty water flow down, and then lay on the bed with satisfaction.

When it was dinner, Auerbach called and asked him to have dinner with the veteran.

Qin Shiou quickly cleaned up. He got such great benefits from veterans and deserved to repay them. This kind of reward is not only material, but also spiritual and psychological. He must respect veterans.

Moreover, the veteran's personality deserves his respect. If it were him, he would not guarantee that he would have collected a gift that would have no effect on him for decades. If he had been on ordinary people, this ambergris would have been thrown away long ago.

Qin Shiou took the veteran to a Chinese restaurant. Seeing that the decoration style was quite luxurious, the veteran muttered when he entered, saying that he had not come to such a restaurant for dinner since he moved in.

When serving, the first thing that comes is a large bowl of wide noodles, decorated with vegetables, floating meat, and the wide noodles are snow-white in color, and there are carved patterns on it.

This Chinese restaurant was specially searched by Qin Shiou on the Internet. He is good at making noodles and 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 have a meal.

Seeing this bowl of wide noodles, the old man laughed and said embarrassedly: "Xiao Qin, you are really interested."

While eating, Qin Shiou whispered to Auerbach about going to the daycare center. The old lawyer nodded and said, "He is very happy. He knows more about the veteran daycare center than us. Obviously, he had planned to enter before."

As for why I didn't go in the end, the reason is very simple, it must be that I didn't have that much money.

Canadian citizen welfare is the top among countries in the world, such as free medical care for all, complete public facilities, free education for twelve years, etc. But the prerequisite for enjoying these is that you have to pay taxes and you have to have social security, otherwise everything is free of charge.

Take free education as an example. Can all children enjoy the benefits of free education? No, it can be enjoyed by families who pay education tax, which looks like 500 Canadian dollars a year.

The veteran does not have social security, and he does not have a pension to get. It’s not that he didn’t work hard when he was young, but that he encountered too many unfairness.

During World War II, veterans sacrificed their lives for Canada, but after the war, they were semi-forced to retire. They left the army and worked. Due to discrimination, they could not find serious jobs at all and could only break up. Not only did they have low incomes, but no company paid social security for them...

But Old Man Chen was very open-minded. When talking about these topics at the dinner table, he laughed and said, "The discrimination in Canada was not very serious later, and our efforts were also rewarding. You, like us Chinese, contributed to this country in the war. Not many years after the end of World War II, the government abolished the discrimination policy against Chinese."

There is no social security and no pension. It is difficult for veterans to enter day care, because day care is not a basic benefit of the country, but a private commercial institution and requires fees.

The good thing is that, given the increasing demand for adult daycare, governments in Canada have begun to invest 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 adult daycare services in British Columbia are subsidized by the provincial government, and the fees that private individuals need to pay are 1,100 yuan per month. Of course, the costs of different daycare facilities are also different. The main costs of veteran daycare facilities in Vancouver are borne by the government, and private individuals only need to bear about 600 yuan per month.

Even so, the veterans can't afford it.

Of course, this money was a slight slight for Qin Shiou. The next morning they took a bus to Vancouver and contacted the Veterans Day Care.

This daycare is located in the suburbs of Vancouver. It is beautifully located in a natural park. The daycare is arranged in the form of a military camp. There are trenches in some places, guards are on guard at the door, and even cannon tanks are exhibited.

Auerbach contacted the day care manager in advance. After they arrived, a woman in military uniform took them to visit.

While introducing the facilities, the service staff introduced their characteristics: "We can provide different services according to the payment, but even the lowest-end services can meet the living needs of an old man, such as haircuts, assisting in bathing, disposing of garbage, washing clothes, organizing activities, etc.."

Qin Shiou walked around and found that day care provided a lot of activities, such as bowling, handicraft making, chess and card games, pet visitors, shopping trips and some light physical competitions.

He was interested in the tier-based charges and asked: "How much does the highest price cost? What services are available?"

The service staff said: "The highest price is 2,800 yuan per month. You can provide accommodation with a single room with special care. The meals can be customized according to taste and physical condition. You can be held independently on your birthday, etc.."

After Qin Shiou figured it out, he went to ask the veteran how he felt about this place. The veteran smiled with relief and said, "It's great, it's so good. There are so many old guys, of course, much better than living alone."

Since that's the case, Qin Shiou went to pay directly. He paid for one year first and then left his contact information. After a year, the veteran's daycare office could contact him to charge the fee every month.

"According to the highest level, if my grandfather has any problems, please contact me in time." Qin Shiou said.

Money is popular everywhere. After hearing his words, the service staff smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will take good care of this respectable veteran. Every week we will send you an email to introduce the physical condition and life details of Mr. Zhou."

Qin Shiou nodded and told the veteran that he could live here with peace of mind in the future and enjoy the highest standard of service.

The rest of this is to move, bring some items from the veteran's house that he is reluctant to throw away. He directed the moving company to finish all the work for a day and then prepare to go back.

When they parted, the veteran held Qin Shiou's hand and burst into 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, and you helped me settle my old age. I don't know what to say."

Qin Shiou hugged the veteran and said, "Grandpa Chen, don't think too much, this is what I should do. I am also grateful for your righteous act of keeping that piece of gray amber for my grandpa." (To be continued)
