Be a mermaid after 1000 years

When eating in the morning, the Duke deliberately raised three red and swollen fingers, and with difficulty pinched the table knife with his index finger and thumb to cut bacon sausages, and then looked at his wife pitifully, hoping to get attention.

Li Miaowei ignored him. He had just taught Edson how to make wontons a few days ago, so today’s breakfast was chicken soup and shrimp meat wontons. After eating a large bowl, he felt that he was not full, so he took another He ordered two pieces of maple pancakes, finished them quickly, wiped his mouth clean, and went upstairs without even looking at the Duke, Blanche turned his head back anxiously.

"My lord, let me cut this bacon sausage for you." Butler Xia Erdi couldn't see it, and stepped forward to recommend himself.

Blanche shook his head in frustration and refused: "No need."

As soon as his wife left, the Duke's fingers became flexible again, and it didn't work to pretend to be pitiful. Could the little guy be really angry?Just thinking about it, Zooey came down from upstairs again, put a small bottle on the table, went out for a walk without saying a word.

Blanche picked up the bottle and saw that it was the ointment that the hospital had given Zoe to treat trauma during her hospitalization.

Butler Chardi would like to remind that this ointment is not suitable for the disease, but seeing that my lord wants to apply it on all ten fingers, I don't want to say it after thinking about it. Anyway, it can't kill people. People who are in love have an IQ drop of 20 Years, drinking water can fill you up, let them mess around.

Dean Warren of the Moon Lake Nursing Home has been worrying too much recently. The weather is going to be hot soon. The temperature control and cooling equipment in the courtyard was overloaded last year and broke down. No one has been found to fix it. Building, after a heavy rain in the middle of the night a few days ago, the roof leaked in a large area, and a batch of fitness equipment in the elderly activity room also urgently needed to be replaced... In short, there are a lot of places waiting to spend money, and this year's government funding It will take more than three months to come down, and the little money from last year is already showing up, so that he is stretched everywhere when he starts to do things.

The dean explained to his assistant that he intends to go out and find a way to get sponsorship. However, he also knows that this trip is likely to return in vain. The elderly people living here are basically the middle and lower classes of society, and the conditions of their children and relatives They are all ordinary, even if they have a little more money, apart from paying the monthly fee on time, there is no reason to donate to the nursing home for no reason. Therefore, as the director of the public nursing home, Valen has various difficulties. Private nursing homes are completely incomparable.

Varun put on his coat, opened the door, and was about to leave when his assistant stopped him.

The assistant covered the microphone and whispered, "There is your call."

The dean didn't want to answer it at first, but seeing the assistant's mysterious look, he asked, "Who's calling?"

"The other party said it was the secretary of Duke Hernand."

Dean Warren felt uneasy for a while. Could it be that the Duchess thought his salary was too low and went back to cry with her husband?He originally thought that the Duchess would not be able to work for a day, but he did not expect that five or six days had passed, and he had not offered to resign.However, the dean calmed down quickly at his age after all. Although his salary was not high, it was within a reasonable range. Even if the Duke wanted to criticize him, he could justify it.

The dean quickly thought of a response, and then he answered the phone, "Hi, hello, I'm Varun."

"Hello! My name is Dan Hall, and I am the chief secretary of the Duke of Hernand." Unexpectedly, the other party's attitude was very polite.

"May I ask what you want from me?"

The assistant stretched his neck, desperately trying to hear what the Duke's secretary was saying. It had been five minutes since the phone call, but the dean hadn't said a complete sentence. It was obvious that the other party was talking all the time, the dean was completely passive and weak, and the expression on Warren's face was also very strange, like crying but not crying, half smiling and not smiling, like cramp, the person unconsciously leaned forward, the assistant guessed The old man must have been scolded miserably.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't dare to inquire about the content of the conversation with the dean, so as not to be affected. Unexpectedly, after the dean let out a sigh of relief, he suddenly jumped three feet high and exclaimed excitedly: "Great! Hernan The Duke of De promised to subsidize our nursing home with 500 million rupees, which really solved the urgent need of the nursing home."

The assistant was also overjoyed when he heard that, "Then, did the Duke make any request?"

"No, but isn't it obvious, alas, thanks to the Duchess!"

After being excited for a while, the dean slowly calmed down and asked, "Hey, hasn't there been any trouble over there these days?"

Of course the assistant understood what he meant, shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard of anything unusual, don't worry, Pansy will help take care of it, and he will definitely come and say something."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Should we also thank the Duchess?" the assistant reminded.

"No need." The dean waved his hand and said, "Just now the Duke's secretary took special care of it. It's not a big deal. Don't bother the Duchess."

The assistant smacked his lips and said with emotion: "This couple has such a good relationship!"

"Go, come with me to have a look."

Dean Warren didn't have any expectations for the Duchess' ability to work at all. For the sake of the 500 million funding, he decided that as long as the Duchess didn't kill people and set fires with him, he would do whatever he liked.

As a result, the dean went to the psychological nursing room. Except for Pansy, the duchess and his mermaid valet were not there.

"Did the Duchess not come today? Or did he not come these two days?" Warren asked.

"Here we come." Pansy smiled and pointed to the activity room for the elderly at the top of the corridor, and said, "I'm playing over there."

What's the fun over there?The dean is surprised. There are some crude fitness equipment in the activity room for the elderly, many of which are almost scrapped. There are also a few sofas and small tables, where you can sit and read newspapers and listen to some old-fashioned music. It is really not attractive. Even the old people in their 80s and [-]s are not very interested in the place, and would rather take a walk in the garden.

When Dean Warren pushed open the door of the activity room, he was surprised to find that it was extremely lively inside. Half of the room was surrounded by piles of elderly people, who didn't know what they were doing, and all of them seemed to be paying attention.

The dean went outside one of the circles, looked in on tiptoe, and saw three old men, Mark, Keats and Titus, playing a strange game. There are also a few cards on the table, and strange symbols are marked on the diagonal corners of each cardboard. It looks like playing cards, but it is very different from the cards in the casino.

Probably another new game, the dean guessed, but the three old men are very funny, each of them has a lot of notes stuck to their faces, so that their noses and eyes can hardly be seen.

"Come out of the circle with the tail."

Kitts held two pieces of cardboard and hesitated, and the onlookers finally couldn't bear it anymore and reminded him aloud.

"That's the queen, what a circle with a tail." Someone beside him laughed.

"I don't know it's the queen? But isn't the queen disrespectful to the queen? How can the queen's tail be so thin!" the man retorted confidently.

"Okay, stop arguing! I still want you to teach me?" Kitz roared back, blowing the notes flying all over his face, and then he carefully placed the two queens on the table.

"What are they doing?" the dean asked the people around him.

"Little Zoe taught us to play a card game, what is it called, oh, poker, it's very exciting."

"Why did the three of them stick so many notes on their faces?"

"Three people play cards, and the loser has to put a note on his face. When the end is over, whoever has the fewest notes is the winner. Keats and the others bet the lottery today, and the loser has to contribute the meatballs he ate at noon. One for the winner."

This is quite interesting, as long as it is not a big gamble, otherwise the hearts of these old men can't stand it. Dean Warren switched to the second encirclement to look at it. This time he couldn't understand it. A striped grid, with some round wooden blocks scattered on it, each with a different pattern painted on it.

The dean didn't look any further. He looked around and found that the Duchess and Sixson were sitting in the corner of the room, chatting and tinkering with something. The dean came closer to see clearly that he was polishing There are many small brick-shaped pieces of wood that have been cut. Sixson, who was a carpenter, brought the ones he had made and carved patterns on them. He is currently chiseling a bird, while the duchess’s mermaid servant is seriously giving it to him. Pattern brush color.

The old and the young from different classes actually chatted very congenially. Dean Warren was a little curious and wanted to hear what they were talking about, so he grabbed the assistant and stood still.

"Eh? Is your old son also doing long-distance freight? That work is tiring. He can't stay home for two or three days, and he can't eat or sleep well." Li Miaowei sympathized.

"That's right, that's why he sent me here. We father and son often don't see each other for ten days and a half months. He doesn't worry about me staying at home alone. When I was young, I drank a lot. In the middle of the year before last There was a wind."

"Your son is very careful."

"It's not that I brag about myself. He is really a good and sensible boy. In the early years, his mother thought the family was poor, so she left without saying a word, and took away all the savings in the family. I am also worthless, and I have been decadent for a long time. Time, my son was only in his teens at that time, if he hadn’t supported him, the family would have collapsed, alas, let’s not talk about it, it’s all over, in fact, we still have land in the country, I sometimes see him really happy If it’s hard, just tell him, don’t do it, we father and son can support ourselves when we go back to farming.”

"My dad told me that too." Li Miaowei murmured.

"Little Zoe, what are you talking about? Speak up, I'm a little deaf."

"It's nothing, I said, it's really not easy for you father and son."

"Haha, it's much better now. Although that kid worked hard, he made a lot of money. I'll save it for him and use it for his wife in the future. My son is so handsome!" She squeezed her eyes, "Wait for him to come over another day and introduce you to each other."

"Okay." A certain Hei Yu didn't understand what the old man said, and nodded in agreement in a daze.

Dean Warren has black lines, and the old guy Sixson is too whimsical, and he doesn't even look at the identity of the other party. Even if the Duchess is single, can an ordinary truck driver marry a mermaid nobleman?He was about to step forward to make a break when he heard a scream from outside, followed by someone yelling.

Many people ran to the door to watch the excitement, and the assistant squeezed out to watch, and came back and said, "It's Pegor, the old man fell ill again and bit the nurse."

"Tsk, what a hassle!" Varen frowned.

Pegor's dementia has a tendency to violence. When he is not sick, he just sits stupidly and never communicates with others. It seems easy to care for him, just feed him when the time comes, but once he gets sick, he immediately becomes manic Getting up, beating, biting, smashing things, spitting, and doing everything, it’s like a typhoon passing through, so he lives in a single room alone, no one dares to sleep in the same room with him, what to do when the time comes The dead don't know.

Such a serious illness is generally not accepted in nursing homes, and should be sent to a special hospital, or someone can be taken care of at home, but Pegor's son is a moderate official in Ankad City, although He's not an aristocrat, but he has some real power. The family doesn't want to take care of such a father. He is sent to the hospital and locked up because he is afraid of being poked in the back, so he can only be stuffed in a nursing home.

Pegor was sent to several private nursing homes by his son, but they were all complained and returned. In the end, he had no choice but to force Moon Lake Nursing Home to accept him. Dean Warren just wanted to find Pei Geer. Gore's son wants to sponsor.
