After returning from the grasslands, they visited a few more times and became good friends with Uncle Bala's family. Tian Qinghua and his newly made friend Morigen got along so well, it was as if they wore the same pair of pants.
Tian Qinghua taught Morigen how to punch and speak Mandarin, while Morigen taught Tian Qinghua how to ride horses, shoot arrows, and speak Mongolian. They got along splendidly. Eventually, Tian Qinghua simply moved in with Uncle Bala's family, saying that it was too much trouble to go back and forth, and told Tian Xinhua to come pick him up every ten or fifteen days.
Tian Xinhua was both amused and exasperated, who knew Qinghua could make such loyal friends on the great grassland. Perhaps it was a case of the fool's fortune. Mongolians value sincerity above all; as long as you treat them with a true heart, they will consider you a good friend. Uncle Bala's family probably appreciated Tian Qinghua's genuine sincerity.
