When they arrived at Qunan's house, it was already afternoon.
Upon arriving at Qunan's place, Fang Ye and his companions greeted the lady of the house and Qunan's children with "tashi delek."
The little girls and boys, their faces a bit darkened from the sun, wore ethnic jewelry and dressed in simple attire.
Lan Li took out several packs of candy and chocolate she had prepared earlier and said with a smile to the children, "Hello, this is a gift for you!"
The children were a bit shy and did not take them.
Qunan looked at the gifts and said something to the children, and only then did they accept them, continually thanking them.
The hardworking hostess enthusiastically brought over butter tea and some snacks, and though she couldn't speak Mandarin, she kept gesturing for them to drink the tea and eat the food.
Fang Ye tried the butter tea and found it quite to his liking, creamy and rich with a salty yet fragrant flavor.
