Chapter 117: Alzheimer's Disease
Chen Qingwu felt that this matter was very strange.
Zheng Sizhe opened the link to the famous master's website, and sure enough, the work "Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly" was written with the name of his grandfather Chen Changsheng.
Grandfather Chen Changsheng has been in the art for nearly 60 years, and he is already one of the top masters in the nuclear carving circle.
Zheng Sizhe flipped through Chen Changsheng's personal homepage, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "The master is already in his early eighties, according to common sense, he should have reached the stage of dazzling and shaking, and the number of works should continue to decrease, but in the past two years, the master's works have only increased, and a work is released every few days, this efficiency, is it a little weird."
Chen Qingwu actually had the same doubts a long time ago, at that time, the sister-in-law and the little uncle had just moved to a new house with their grandfather, and she thought that it was the good mountains, rivers and scenery in the Fenglin Bay area that raised people, which made her grandfather inspired, but now looking back and thinking about it carefully, no matter how pleasant the environment is, it is impossible for an eighty-year-old man to be as productive as clockwork.
Unless, these works are not carved by his own hands, but only signed by his name.
"What do you mean? Do you have any doubts?"
Chen Qingwu had a very bad premonition in her heart, her mind was instantly messed up, she had no clue, she urgently needed Zheng Sizhe to say his opinion.
"How long has it been since you've seen your master?" Zheng Sizhe asked.
"It's been a long time, probably ...... It's been more than two years." After grandpa moved with her sister-in-law, she hadn't seen him, and the last time she saw him, she saw a back of her grandfather through the glass door of her grandfather's studio.
"I haven't seen my master for a long time."
Chen Qingwu looked at Zheng Sizhe: "You won't ...... It's been more than two years, right?"
Zheng Sizhe thought for a while and nodded: "I haven't talked to the master, maybe it's been more than two years."
In the past two years, every time Zheng Sizhe comes to visit with gifts, his master Chen Changsheng either goes to participate in activities or goes out to play.
"Grandpa shouldn't ......," Chen Qingwu flashed a terrifying thought.
"Fool, what are you thinking?" Zheng Sizhe subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Chen Qingwu's heart, but when he turned his eyes and saw Duan Jin Cheng's vinegar churning eyes, he immediately stopped his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it for so many years."
Duan Jincheng didn't buy it: "Teacher Zheng, it's time for you to change your habits."
Zheng Sizhe pressed his hand: "Yes, yes, it's time to change."
"You go on." Duan Jincheng pulled the topic back again, "Grandpa won't have an accident, right?"
"I don't dare to assert, but it shouldn't be what Qingwu thinks."
Zheng Sizhe went to see the old man during the Dragon Boat Festival some time ago, when the old man was taking a nap, Chu Yikun also took him to the old man's room to take a look, but the old man was sleeping very deeply at that time, so they didn't wake him up.
"And what the hell do you mean?" Chen Qingwu was anxious.
"When I passed the Dragon Boat Festival, I met a person at the master's place."
"Who?"
"Zhou Yiren."
"Why is he there?"
Chen Qingwu remembered that since Zhou Yiren deceived customers with machine carving instead of manual carving, and made his grandfather faint and hospitalized in anger, his grandfather broke off his cooperation with him, and completely pulled this person into the blacklist of his career.
"Could it be that the master and him are ...... again?"
"No!"
Chen Qingwu categorically denied it.
Grandpa's whole life has been working hard for the development of nuclear carving, his heart for nuclear carving is pure and clear, Zhou Yiren is full of copper smell, interests are smoking, in order to make money unscrupulous means, the two of them can never cooperate again.
No matter whether Chen Qingwu and her grandfather haven't seen each other for two years or twenty years, she will always firmly believe that her grandfather's character and principles will not change. Moreover, grandpa is so old, why should he wait until he has no energy to enjoy his seventies and eighties?
It doesn't make sense
!

Chen Qingwu couldn't sit still anymore.
Before, she felt that her grandfather and aunt lived together, and she was very relieved to have them to take care of her, but after listening to Zheng Sizhe's words today, all kinds of uneasiness and speculation surged in her heart.
She felt like she was going to see her grandfather today no matter what.
"I want to go back to Grandpa now." Chen Qingwu looked at Duan Jin Cheng.
Duan Jincheng nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you."
"Hmm." With Duan Jin Cheng there, Chen Qingwu felt relieved.
"Okay, then you can go back first, and call me at any time if you have any situation." Zheng Sizhe was infected by Chen Qingwu's emotions, and he also began to feel a little uneasy, "Give me a message when I see my master."
"Okay."
After Chen Qingwu and Duan Jincheng returned to Chucheng from Qinghe, they went to the supermarket to buy some gifts and went straight to Fenglin Bay.
On the way, Duan Jincheng asked, "Do you want to talk to Lawyer Chen first?"
When visiting someone's home, it is the right etiquette to give one day's notice. It's actually very rude for them to pass over so suddenly, and it's not good to think about it if they don't even say hello in advance.
"Let's not talk about it yet." Chen Qingwu said.
It's not that she suspects her sister-in-law, it's just that the more she thinks about it, the more strange it becomes, and the timeline spanning it is also very long, she doesn't know what has happened in the past two years, so she wants to pay more attention.
Duan Jincheng instantly understood what Chen Qingwu meant, so he didn't say more.
By the time they arrived at Maple Grove Bay, it was already dark.
As soon as the car drove to the door of the villa, I heard the soft cry of a child from the garden.
Chen Qingwu and Duan Jincheng glanced at each other and immediately got out of the car.
"Huh?" Chen Qingwu grabbed the railing of the iron gate and looked in, "Are you crying?"
"Sister!" Chu Yunxi heard Chen Qingwu's voice and ran out from behind the rockery crying, "Sister, save Mom, Dad is beating Mom!" Save Mom!"
"You open the door first!"
The man was small, the iron door was heavy, and she didn't have the strength to open it.
"I can't open it...... I can't open it......" I was in a hurry, crying even more broken.
Seeing this, Duan Jin Cheng climbed directly onto the iron gate, crossed the sharp iron awl on the door, and turned into the courtyard.
He opened the door from within.
Chen Qingwu entered the door, rushed out, and hugged Chen Qingwu.
"Sister...... I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." The moment Chen Qingwu picked up the child, Duan Jincheng had already rushed into the hall quickly.
Chen Qingwu wanted to follow Duan Jin Cheng in, but when he saw Xi Xi crying so pitifully, he stopped again.
No matter what, letting the child see her father abusing her mother is the biggest harm to her.
"Xixi, my sister gave you the phone, can you sit on a chair and watch cartoons?"
"But Mom ......"
"My brother and sister will definitely be fine when my mother comes, and my brother and sister will protect my mother. How about you go to see Peppa Pig?"
"Okay." Children are children after all, simple-minded, easily persuaded, sobbing and saying, "Sister, I want to watch "PAW Patrol."
"Okay, "PAW Team" is "PAW Team", my sister will play it for you."
Chen Qingwu locked the door, carried the child to the rattan chair in the garden, and turned on her mobile phone.
"You watch cartoons here and wait for my sister, don't run around."
"Okay."
---
When Chen Qingwu ran into the hall, the sister-in-law sat on the ground, her cheeks were red and swollen, her mouth and nose were bloody, her eyes were dazed and out of focus, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul.
Chu Yikun was pressed to the ground by Duan Jin Cheng, his face was red, and he was full of wine, he should be very drunk.
Chen Qingwu never dreamed that one day he would see such a tragic scene on Chen Yuchuan and Chu Yikun. They are obviously so affectionate, she will always remember the day her sister-in-law and Chu Yikun got married, Chu Yikun was lucky
Blessed to the appearance of being at a loss.
Is love really going to change, it's going to pass, it's going to disappear?
"Call the police!" Duan Jin Cheng shouted angrily at Chen Qingwu.
"I don't have my phone."
Duan Jin Cheng pinned down Chu Yikun while throwing his mobile phone towards Chen Qingwu.
Chen Qingwu caught it steadily.
"The password is your birthday." Duan Jincheng said, "Call the police now!"
Chen Qingwu held the phone, but did not unlock it, she walked up to her sister-in-law, squatted down and looked at her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Chen Yuchuan glanced at Chen Qingwu, tears swirling in his eyes, but he still held back.
"I'm fine."
"Do you want to call the police?" Chen Qingwu asked.
Of course, Chen Qingwu is the same as Duan Jincheng, ten thousand want to call the police, but this is a matter between their husband and wife after all, and she can't make a choice for her sister-in-law.
Before Chen Yuchuan could speak, Chu Yikun suddenly came to his senses and begged for mercy loudly: "Wife, I was wrong, I didn't mean to, I was drunk, my brain was dizzy, you forgive me, I will never beat you again!"
"Shut up!" Duan Jin Cheng suppressed Chu Yikun even harder.
"Wife......
Chen Yuchuan turned a deaf ear to Chu Yikun's words, she just looked at Chen Qingwu and asked, "What about you?"
"She's watching cartoons in the yard."
"You take her to you." Chen Yuchuan looked at Chen Qingwu, "You take her away first, and I'll call the police myself."
A mother, at the end of her rope, is still thinking about not letting her children see the ugliest side of their parents.
"Okay." Chen Qingwu got up and suddenly remembered something, "Where is Grandpa?"
"He's in the back garden, he's already asleep, don't wake him up first."
"Okay."
Chen Qingwu returned the mobile phone to Duan Jincheng, took his car keys, and took Chu Yunxi back to his house first.
The little one fell asleep on the way.
After arriving home, Chen Qingwu carried Xixi upstairs, and after settling her, he began to wait for Duan Jincheng's news, Duan Jincheng only sent a message to Chen Qingwu after Chen Yuchuan called the police.
"The police have arrived."
Since then, there has been no news.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Yuchuan's car stopped at the door of Chen Qingwu's house.
Chen Qingwu heard the sound and hurriedly ran out, through the window glass, she could see two figures in the back seat of the car.
One of them is the grandfather she thinks about day and night.
Chen Qingwu couldn't wait to pull the car door.
Duan Jincheng got down from the driver's seat, grabbed Chen Qingwu's shoulder, and also held her hand.
"Teacher Chen." He whispered in her ear, "Promise me, wait a minute, whatever you see, you have to be calm and don't get excited, okay?"
Chen Qingwu's heart chuckled, Duan Jincheng's words were obviously giving her a preventive shot.
She broke away from Duan Jincheng's hand and went to open the door of the back seat even more anxiously.
As soon as the car door opened, Chen Qingwu saw Chen Yuchuan holding Chen Changsheng's arm, and both of them were sitting in the back seat.
Hearing the voice, the two turned their heads to look at Chen Qingwu together.
The wound on my sister-in-law's face has been treated, and she has applied red potion, which is even more shocking to look at.
Chen Qingwu selfishly hoped that this was what Duan Jincheng said "no matter what you see", but no, what made her even more at a loss was the strange and defensive look of her grandfather Chen Changsheng.
"Yuanzhen, who is this person?" Grandpa Chen Changsheng asked his sister-in-law.
Chen Qingwu's hands and feet were cold, and he was stunned in place.
Wonjin is the name of her grandmother, who has been dead for many years.
---
"Yuanzhen, why don't you speak, who is this person?" Chen Changsheng's pupils were cloudy, but his eyes were clear, "I'm so familiar with this person!"
"Dad, I'm Yuchuan, and she's Qingwu." Chen Yuchuan was calm with a hint of helplessness.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on? Grandpa, what's wrong with him?" Chen Qingwu
Cracking the car door, looking incredulous.
"Let's talk about it first." Duan Jincheng pulled Chen Qingwu to his side, "It's too stuffy in the car, grandpa just said that he was uncomfortable all the way and wanted to get out of the car."
Chen Yuchuan helped Chen Changsheng get out of the car.
Several people walked into the courtyard.
Little Orange suddenly saw so many people, and he was so frightened that he screamed.
Grandpa Chen Changsheng's attention was attracted by the little orange, he walked to the cage of the little orange and took a look, turned back to Chen Yuchuan and said, "Yuanzhen, this puppy is very interesting, exactly the same as the puppy we had before."
"Sister-in-law." Chen Qingwu grabbed Chen Yuchuan's arm, "What's wrong with Grandpa?"
"Alzheimer's disease." Chen Yuchuan looked at Chen Qingwu and choked up, "It's Alzheimer's disease, it's been a long time, it's useless to treat it, it's getting worse and worse."
Alzheimer's disease.
Chen Qingwu was at a loss, that is to say, her grandfather had not reconciled with her and had forgotten her first.
"Grandpa." Chen Qingwu stepped forward and grabbed his grandfather's arm, "Grandpa, look at me, I'm Qingwu, don't you remember me?" I'm Qingwu, I'm Qingwu!"
She kept repeating her name and cried as she spoke.
Chen Changsheng quietly watched Chen Qingwu crying, looked at it for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to Chen Yuchuan and said, "Yuanzhen, I remember, Qingwu is our granddaughter."
Chen Yuchuan immediately nodded: "Do you remember?"
"I remember." The old man stretched out his hand and compared his waistline, "But Qingwu is so tall, this person says she is Qingwu, she is a liar, right?"
Chen Yuchuan was silent.
Everyone in the courtyard was silent.
Chen Changsheng stood in place for a while, and then he was not happy.
"I'm going to sleep, what did you bring me here for the night? I'm going to sleep!"
Only then did Chen Qingwu react: "I'll go upstairs to clean up a room for grandpa."
"He has trouble walking up the stairs." Chen Yuchuan said.
Chen Qingwu seemed to have been hit on the head again.
Why is the grandfather in front of her so much different from the grandfather in her impression?
Also, older people, let alone not seeing each other for two years, even if they haven't seen each other for two weeks, may be missing some kind of life skills than the last time they met.
The children are getting bigger and bigger, and the elderly are getting older and younger.
"Then I...... I'll go to the study on the first floor to build a simple bed for my grandfather, and I'll make a transition today."
Duan Jincheng grabbed her: "I'll come."
Chen Qingwu and Duan Jincheng built a simple bed for their grandfather Chen Changsheng against the wall in the study on the first floor.
Fortunately, the old man didn't choose a bed and slept obediently.
After settling down and grandpa walked out of the room, Chen Qingwu saw her sister-in-law Chen Yuchuan sitting alone in the courtyard, she looked up at a lonely moon in the sky, and her back was indescribably lonely.
"I'll go up first, you talk." Duan Jincheng said in Chen Qingwu's ear.
Chen Qingwu nodded and walked to Chen Yuchuan's side.
When Chen Yuchuan saw Chen Qingwu coming, his eyes were full of tears for a while.
"I'm sorry, Qingwu."
