As he walked, he saw an electronics store. Bayu held Anming's shoulder and pointed to the electronics store.

" You're going there.."

Bayu nodded his head.

" Ayo..."

Anming put the stuff down, then went inside the store.

Once at home, they were greeted by Xoulang.

" Ayo...Eat first...I know you're hungry." said Xoulang.

They then ate with a side dish of fish caught by Bayu this morning.

After the meal, Anming gave the proceeds to his wife.

In the days leading up to Dzhur. Bayu back to pray in the house.

Anming and Xoulang saw Bayu praying.

Anming stood beside Bayu. He was curious about the movement that Bayu did, so he imitated the movement of Bayu.

Xoulang saw the clothes in Bayu was dirty, there was an intention to buy clothes for Bayu. Her husband's clothes were few. It also looks old.

" My husband.." said Xoulang.

" yes..What's the matter with my wife." said Anming.

" Hurry up here." said Xoulang.

" My clothes are shabby...I'll buy some clothes..I hope this money is enough.."

" I want to buy books, let me understand, they say.And I want to buy laundry soap." Bayu said in his heart.

A man noticed Anming. The man was very curious, from where did Anming get so many fish. Then the man came to him.

" Woii old man...Where did you get this much fish." said the man.

" This is a fish caught from the river." said Anming.

" Did you give your fish preservatives?" said the man.

" no...My fish is without preservatives..If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself." said Anming.

The man then examined the Anming fish, he saw gills on the fish. It looks like the gills are still fresh red. Usually, the fishmongers will put the fish in ice. But the man saw no ice cubes.

" Yes...The fish is still fresh." said the man inwardly then left Anming's lap.

People who bought Anming fish yesterday bought them again. Because Anming fish catch is still fressh, not included in ice cubes.Sertama the price is not so expensive from fish that use ice cubes.

It does not take long, Anming trade ludes not left.

Xoulang came to her husband because she wanted to buy clothes for Bayu.

" Don't Jiang not his son..?" said the woman inwardly watching Bayu.

" Ooo...Shirt...So Mbah Solang wants to buy clothes.. Come on if that's the case." said Bayu.

Anming gave some of the money from the sale to his wife. Then Bayu and Xoulang went to buy clothes.

After arriving at the place of the clothes seller, Xoulang picked up a shirt and gave it to Bayu.

Bayu accepted it, then saw the size of the shirt. Bayu shook his head, then he took it himself.

Bayu pointed at the pile of books.

" I want to buy a book" said Bayu while giving a proposal.

Bayu then look for books to learn the language they speak. Then he saw a poster. There are mandarin letters and also letters of the alphabet.

Bayu took the poster, then handed it to Xoulang.

Bayu took off the clothes that he had been wearing for 3 days.Then put on the clothes he just bought.

" Mayan's...There is replace ...It's not good to wear those clothes anyway." Bayu said in his heart.

Bayu walked towards the bathroom, he saw there was soap, then took it. Bayu walked to the well to wash his clothes.

" You want to know how your name uses this?" Xoulang.

Anming approached.

" She...It looks like Jiang'er wants to learn to write and read" Xoulang said.

" Do you want to learn to read and write?" anming.

" Yes...Jiang wants to learn." Bayu said.

" How is this my husband..?" Xoulang.

Anming thought.

" If Jiang'er wants to learn, then look for the fish first. Your mother will take you to school." said Anming.

" Jiangkrek...I have to catch fish..I want to learn..."

" Hey...But yeah, that's it...I will try to do it myself." Bayu said in his heart.

After the Fajr prayer, Bayu immediately went to the river to find fish.

30 Minutes later, Bayu managed to catch very many fish and big - big. While the fish are still small, he returned again to the river, so that the ecocyte is awake.

Then the woman clasped Bayu's shoulder. Bayu looked at the woman.

" Do you want to learn Chinese." said the woman as she moved her hand.

Bayu nodded his head.

" This is the letter A.. How to read this letter?" said Bayu while giving isarat.

The woman told Bayu.

Bayu repeated the woman's words.

Anming who saw the woman sitting close to Jiang let it go.

" My name is Zhouzu...Zhouzu's.."

" What's your name?" said the woman introduced herself.

" Yiang...Jiang my name." said Bayu.

Zhouzu then taught Bayu again how to pronounce Chinese letters.

Bayu followed Zhouzu's words.

Zhouzu was amazed at Jiang, with how easily Jiang could follow his words. Then take a bunch of fish, and mention the fish in Chinese.

Bayu followed Zhouzu's words.

" Ooo....Iwak is the language of Yu toh." said Bayu.

" What language did you just speak?" Zhouzu.

Bayu shakes his head, because he does not remember where he came from.

The Anming fish has sold out.

" Jiang...Let's go home." Anming said.

" uncle....Can I come to the house?" Zhouzu.

" What do you want in my house?" anming.

" I want to teach Jiang to speak." Zhouzu said.

" all right...Come on if you want to come." said Anming.

They then walked to Anming's house.

Bayu was astonished to see Zhouzu, why did he follow her.

Once at Anming's house, Zhouzu again taught Bayu chinese.

Slowly Bayu understood what Zhouzu said, he also followed Zhouzu's words.

" uncle...Does my uncle have books and stationery?" Zhouzhu.

"I don't have one." said Anming.

" all right...I go home first, I'll be back here later." Zhouzu said.

" Eat first before you go home." said Xoulang.

" Thank you aunt..."

" I'm still full." said Zhouzhu.

Zhouzu left Anming's house.

3 Hours later.

Zhouzu returned to Anming's house with books and stationery.

"Uncle...Where is Jiang?" Zhouzu.

" He's inside, don't be disturbed first." said Anming. Because Bayu is praying.

Soon after, Bayu left the house.

" Yiang..I brought you a book, " Zhouzu said.

Bayu sat down beside Zhouzu.

Zhouzu then opened the book he brought, then showed it to Bayu.

The Chinese characters in the book were seen.Lalu Zhouzu taught Bayu.

Bayu followed Zhouzu's words.

Slowly but surely. Bayu understands Chinese and Chinese letters, but there are some words that Bayu does not understand.

Suddenly appeared the shadow of the veiled woman was teaching herself Chinese. But the woman's face was blurred.

Bayu held his head which was painful as the shadow appeared.

" Aakhh....Sakiit.." said Bayu while holding his head.

Zhouzu saw the watch visible behind the clothes Bayu, because Bayu always wear long-sleeved clothes.

" What did you do to Jiang'er." said Xoulang.

" Sorry aunt. I didn't do anything, just teach him our language." Zhouzu said.

Bayu shook his head so that the pain in his head disappeared.

" Who is that woman...Why can't I see her face." Bayu said in his heart.

" Jiang...Are you okay, what?" Xoulang.

Bayu shook his head. Then he took Zhouzu's notebook and pencil.

After that he drew the shadow of the veiled woman to the book.

Zhouzu and Xoulang watched Bayu.

After he finished drawing, he wrote a question mark next to the veiled woman with no face.

" He's who?" Xoulang.

Bayu shook his head.

" May I see your watch." said Zhouzu.

Bayu showed his broken watch to Zhouzu.

" It's..."

" It's an expensive watch..."

" Who is this Jiang..?"

" He is a young man from a wealthy family." Zhouzu said in his heart.

An hour later, Zhouzu decided to go home. He will look for a book that has a picture of him, so that Jiang more easily understand. If it was just speech alone, then Jiang was very difficult to understand.

Anming's trade was sold out.Then Anming tidied up his goods.

" I go home first." said Bayu.

" Yes..."

" It belongs to my son, he lost his memory while helping me find fish in the river. What's wrong with my son's watch?" said Anming

" This is a real watch..The price is very expensive." said the man.

" Can you fix this watch.?" anming.

" all right..I'll check first." said the man then took his magnifying glass to see why the watch was not working.

There was mud at that hour. Then the man carefully cleaned the watch machine.
