Chapter 1368

If you don't understand it, don't do it first. Qin Shiou takes back the Sea God consciousness, even if he only strengthens his previous ability. He is very satisfied with the eight sea god consciousness he has now, so that he has 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. Then he lay contented in bed.

At dinner time, Auerbach called and asked him to have dinner with the veteran.

Qin Shiou quickly cleaned up. He got so much benefit from the veterans and should repay them. This reward is not only material, but also spiritual and psychological. He should respect the veterans.

Moreover, the veteran's personality also deserves his respect. If it were him, he can't guarantee that he would collect a gift that has no effect on himself 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. When the veteran went in, he muttered that he had not eaten in such a restaurant since he moved in.

When serving, the first thing to come up is a large bowl of wide noodles, dotted with green vegetables and floating meat foam. The wide noodles are snow-white in color and have carved patterns on them.

This Chinese restaurant was specially searched by Qin Shiou on the Internet. It is good at making pasta. It is considered to be one of the best pasta restaurants in Vancouver. Of course, the price is not low. Such a bowl of noodles costs more than 60 yuan, enough for ordinary people to eat a meal.

Seeing this bowl of wide noodles, the old man smiled and said shyly, "Xiao Qin, you really have a heart."

At dinner, Qin Shiou quietly asked Auerbach about going to the day care center. The old lawyer nodded and said, "he is very happy. He knows more about the Veterans' day care center than we do. Obviously, he had plans to enter it before."

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

Canadian citizen welfare is the top in the world, such as free medical care for all, complete public facilities, 12-year free education, etc., but the premise to enjoy these is that you have to pay taxes and have social security, otherwise everything is free.

Take free education for example. Can children of all families enjoy the benefits of free education? No, families who pay education tax can enjoy it. It's about $500 a year.

The veteran has no social security and no pension. It's not that he didn't work hard when he was young, but that he suffered too much injustice.

During World War II, veterans sacrificed their lives for Canada, but after the war, they were semi forcibly retired. They left the army to work. Because of discrimination, they couldn't find a serious job at all. They had to work as casual workers. Not only their income was low, but also no company paid them social security

However, veteran Chen was very open-minded. When talking about these topics at the dinner table, he said with a smile: "later, the discrimination in Canada was not very serious, and our efforts were fruitful. Like us Chinese Americans, you 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 Americans."

Without social security and pension, it is difficult for veterans to enter day care centers, because day care centers are not the basic welfare of the state, but private commercial institutions, which need to charge fees.

The good point is that in view of the increasing demand for adult day care, Canadian provincial governments have begun to invest in and fund this service, and universities and colleges also provide courses on elderly care. Now adult day care has become an emerging opportunity for education and enterprises in Canada.

Most of the adult day care services in British Columbia are subsidized by the provincial government. The average fee that individuals need to pay is 1100 yuan per month. Of course, the cost of different day care centers is also different. The main cost of Veterans' day care centers in Vancouver is borne by the government, and the private only needs to bear about 600 yuan per month.

Even so, veterans can't afford it.

Of course, the money was a little fun for Qin Shiou. The next morning, they drove to Vancouver and contacted the Veterans' day care center.

This day care center is located in the suburb of Vancouver. It has a beautiful environment and is located in a natural park. The interior of the day care center is arranged in the mode of military barracks. In some places, trenches are dug, guards stand guard at the door, and even artillery tanks are displayed.

Auerbach contacted the head of the day care center 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 different fees, but even the lowest service can meet the living needs of an old man, such as hairdressing, helping to take a bath, garbage disposal, laundry, organizing activities, etc."

Qin Shiou walked around and found that there were many activities provided by day care, such as bowling, handicraft production, chess and poker games, pet visitors, shopping trips and some light physical competitions.

He was interested in charging by grades and asked, "how much is the top grade? What services are provided? "

The service staff said: "the highest grade is 2800 yuan per month. You can provide a single room with special escort. The meals can be customized according to your taste and physical condition. Birthdays are carried out independently, and so on."

After Qin Shiou found out, he went to ask the veterans how they felt about it. The veterans smiled happily and said, "it's good. It's good here. So many old guys are much better than living alone."

In this case, Qin Shiou paid directly. He first paid the fee for one year, and then left his contact information. A year later, the Veterans' day care center can contact him every month to charge.

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

Money is popular everywhere. After listening to his words, the service staff said with a smile: "please rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will take good care of this respectable veteran. Every week, we will send an email to your mailbox to introduce Mr. Zhou's physical condition and life details."

Qin Shiou nodded and told the veteran that he could live here and enjoy the highest standard of service.

In this way, the rest is to move. Just bring some items in the Veterans' house that they are reluctant to throw away. He commanded the moving company to finish all the work for a day and 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 last life. I can know your family in this life. Brother Qin 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 about it. This is what I should do. I'm also grateful for your kindness to keep the gray amber for my grandpa."
