Rebirth: Back To 1990s

"Uncle Andy, where are you going?" Celia asked, slowing her pace.

"Celia, I heard that you and your mother had moved out of your house. When I heard about it, I figured you didn't have enough food, so I am here with some. By the way, are you all right?" Andy Wang simpered and asked with a flattering smile.

"I am fine. Nothing is wrong with me."

"It's getting dark already. Where are you going with an ax?" Andy Wang glanced at the ax in Celia's hand and asked curiously.

"I will be going up the hill to cut two bamboos. Uncle Andy, there's something I want to talk with you about. But I am not sure if it is right to talk about it." Celia hesitated, as she looked into Andy's eyes.

"Hey, when did you become so polite? Come clean and tell me what is bothering you." Andy wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, don't misunderstand me. It is just that some filthy people are questioning my mother's honor. They have been doubting her with..."

Celia found it hard to finish her sentence. However, glancing at Andy, she was clear he got her meaning. Of course, she also knew that there was nothing going on between her mother and him. But people liked to dishonor other people. As a daughter, Celia didn't like it when people questioned her mother. Hence she hoped that Andy would keep his distance.

continued, "Most people make baskets, coffins, dustpans and so on. These are very common items. After all, the market is quite big. We have to find a new path." For a while, Celia was lost in thoughts. And then, she went on, "I am trying to think outside the box. Hmmm… I guess nobody thought of making fruit dishes, brush pots or something of that sort with bamboos. We could give it a try." Realizing her mother wasn't convinced yet, she added, "Of course, we won't go to the village in order to sell them. If we sell these things in the county, we
