1347. Placement of Veterans

Don't do it until you figure it out. Qin Shiou took back the sea god consciousness, even if it was just to strengthen his previous ability. He is very satisfied with the eight sea god consciousness he has now, so that he can control the ocean even stronger.

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

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

Qin Shiou hurriedly tidied up. He got such a big benefit from the veteran, so he should repay him. This kind of repayment is not only material, but also spiritual and psychological. He must respect the veteran.

Moreover, the veteran's personality also deserves his respect. If it were him, he wouldn't guarantee that he would keep a gift that had no effect on him for decades. Putting 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. When the veteran entered, he mumbled, saying that he hadn't eaten at such a restaurant since he moved here.

When the dishes were served, a large bowl of wide noodles was served first, decorated with green vegetables and floating in minced meat, the wide noodles were snow-white in color, and there were carved patterns on them.

This Chinese restaurant was searched by Qin Shiou on the Internet. It is good at making noodles and is considered to be 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. Dinner is over.

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 in a low voice about going to the day care center. The old lawyer nodded and said, "He is very happy. He knows more about the day care center for veterans than we do. Obviously, he has entered the day care center before. plan."

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

Canadian citizenship benefits are among the top countries in the world, such as universal free medical care, complete public facilities, 12 years of free education, etc., but the premise to enjoy these is that you have to pay taxes and you have social security. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it.

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

Veterans don't have social security. He also has no pension to take, not because he didn't work hard when he was young, but because he encountered too much injustice.

During World War II, veterans risked their lives for Canada, but after the war ended. They were semi-forced to retire.

They left the army to work. Because of discrimination, they couldn’t find a serious job at all, so they could only do part-time jobs. Not only was their income low, but there was no company to pay them social security...

But Chen Laobing was very interested. When talking about these topics at the dinner table, he laughed and said: "The discrimination in Canada is not very serious, and our efforts are rewarding. You are like us Chinese in war. Contributed to this country. Not many years after the end of World War II, the government abolished the discriminatory policy against Chinese Americans."

Without social security and pensions, it is very difficult for veterans to enter day care centers, because day care centers are not the basic benefits of the state, but private commercial institutions that require fees.

The good thing is that in view of the increasing demand for adult day care, provincial governments in Canada have begun to invest and fund this service. Universities and colleges also provide courses on elderly care. Now adult day care is important for education and business in Canada. became an emerging opportunity.

Most of the adult day care services in British Columbia are subsidized by the provincial government, and private individuals need to pay an average of 1,100 yuan per month. Of course, different day care centers require different fees. The main cost of veteran day care centers in Vancouver is 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 nothing to Qin Shiou. They set off for Vancouver by car the next morning and contacted the Veterans Day Care Center.

The location of this daycare is in the suburbs of Vancouver with a beautiful environment. It is located in a natural park, and the interior of the day care center is arranged in the model of a military camp. In some places, trenches are dug, guards stand guard at the gate, and even artillery tanks are exhibited.

Auerbach contacted the daycare director ahead of time, and when they arrived, a woman in military uniform showed them around.

While introducing the facilities, the service staff introduced their characteristics: "We can provide different services according to different fees, but even the lowest-end services can meet the life needs of an old man, such as haircuts, assistance with bathing, handling Garbage, laundry, organizing events, etc.”

Qin Shiou walked around inside and found that the daycare offers 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 charging by tier, and asked, "How much is the highest tier? What services do you provide?"

The service staff said: "The most upscale one is 2,800 yuan per month. You can provide accommodation in a single room, have a special escort, meals can be customized according to your taste and physical condition, birthday parties are held separately, and so on."

After Qin Shiou figured it out, he asked the veteran how he felt about this place, and the veteran smiled gratifiedly and said, "It's pretty good, it's really nice here, with so many old guys, it's certainly much better than living alone."

In this case, Qin Shiou went to pay directly. He paid the fee for one year first, and then left his contact information. After one year, the day care center for veterans can contact him every month to collect the fee.

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

Money is welcome everywhere, the service staff listened to his words and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will take good care of this respectable veteran, and 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 can live here with peace of mind and enjoy the highest standard of service in the future.

In this way, the only thing left is to move, and it is enough to bring some items that the veteran's home is reluctant to throw away. He directed the moving company to finish all the work for a day, and then he was ready to go back.

At the time of parting, the veteran took 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 down for 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, this is what I should do. I am equally grateful for your act of keeping that piece of gray amber for my grandfather." (To be continued.)
