Chapter 7 Missed Opportunity
(1)

Dark clouds hung over the sky, dark and oppressive.As Su Mo'er ran, her legs became heavier and heavier, her head began to swell, and she even felt like a boulder was pressing on top of her head, which made her breathless.

I'm going to enter the chief's house, Abu has money to treat his illness!Although Su Mo'er felt very uncomfortable, when she thought of this, she was so happy that she ran forward again.

Suddenly, she found a woman walking in front of her. She couldn't see what the woman looked like, but she knew that it was her mother.

She yelled, "Erji!"

The woman smiled, walked slowly to Su Mo'er, held her in her arms, and gently stroked her hair.

"My child! You are my child!" said the woman.

"Eji! Is that you? Is it really Eji?" Su Mo'er happily grabbed the woman's clothes, dancing and laughing nonstop.

"My dear child..." After the woman finished speaking, her body slowly floated up.Su Mo'er became anxious and shouted: "Erji, Erji! Don't go! Don't go!"

The woman's face became blurred, and she gradually left Su Mo'er's hand, floating higher and higher, even if she jumped to catch it, she couldn't catch it.

"Eji, don't go! Eji, don't go! Take me! Eji, take me!" Su Moer cried desperately and yelled loudly.

……

"Su Moer, Su Moer!"

Su Mo'er heard another voice calling her, and she recognized it was her father's voice.

"Su Moer, Su Moer!" Another voice came from Jeddah.

"Where are you?" Su Mo'er looked around, and there was nothing around, but the voice seemed to be from far to near, empty and loud.

"Erji! Abu! Aha!" Su Mo'er shouted and opened her eyes.She saw Papa and Jeddah surrounding her, shouting anxiously.

"Where am I?" She looked around, it was a shabby and dilapidated yurt of her family.

"Why did I come back? Why am I lying here?" Su Mo'er murmured.

Seeing her eyes open, Hari Taogao clasped his hands together and murmured: "God bless! Our Su Mo'er is awake!"

Su Mo'er looked at her father and then at her brother. When she saw the reddish-brown cotton robe next to her pillow, she remembered it and said happily, "Abu, aha! I can go to the chief's house now, housekeeper." Mama promised me to go!"

Jeddah looked at Hari Taogao and lowered his head.Hari Taogao's face, which was still smiling just now, also became stiff.

"Really, it's what the housekeeper said. As long as I'm not sick, I can work by her side. As long as I can enter the chief's house, I will have a monthly salary, so Abu will have money to buy medicine." Su Mo'er His face was flushed, and he couldn't hide his excitement.

She remembered that when she was expecting and waiting anxiously in Zana's yurt, Zana rushed in excitedly and said loudly, "Su Mo'er, God bless! The housekeeper agreed!"

"Promise? Promise what?" Su Mo'er stood up, her heart beating violently.Although she knew what Zana meant, she asked again, she wanted to be sure.

"As long as you are healthy, the housekeeper will promise you to enter the chief's house and stay by her side. Although it is better to be Gege's maid, it is better to follow the housekeeper. I think you are thin and healthy, so you will definitely be punished." The housekeeper is interested." Zana said, looking at Su Mo'er.

"Yeah!" Su Mo'er nodded desperately, and said happily, "I am in good health, and I have never been sick!"

"That's good, that's good! Go back quickly and tell your Abu and Aha the good news. Come here at noon tomorrow, and I'll take you to see the housekeeper!"

"Abaga! Bayara! Abaga! Bayara..." Su Moer bowed to Zana as she spoke. She said it over and over again, bowing again and again, tears It also flowed down slowly, but it was tears of joy.

"Good boy! Go back quickly!" Zana saw her crying, and his nose was sore.

Su Mo'er nodded and ran outside.

"Put on that padded robe, it's cold outside!" Zana said.

"This is my favorite padded gown, I can't get it dirty!" Su Mo'er said with a smile and started to run.

"Abu, Aha, I can enter the chief's house now! Abu, you have money to buy medicine!" Su Mo'er yelled as she ran, cheerful like a bird.

Su Mo'er ran back to her yurt, but found no one inside, not even her sick father.She put her beloved cotton gown beside her pillow, then put on an old one, and went to ask her neighbors.The neighbor's aunt told her that her brothers had all gone to help other families, and her father had also gone out to graze.

"Abu's illness is still not cured, how can he graze?" Su Mo'er said anxiously.

"Poor people, as long as they can get up, they have to work. What do you eat if you don't work? Your Abu, you are pitiful!" The neighbor's aunt shook her head and sighed.

"I won't let Abu work so hard again!" Su Mo'er clenched her fists and said.

The neighbor's aunt looked at Su Mo'er, nodded and said, "Good boy! You are so obedient and sensible, it doesn't matter if you work hard, Abu."

"I'm going to the chief's house tomorrow. I can buy medicine when I go to Abu. After taking the medicine, I'll be fine." Su Mo'er said happily.

"Oh? Really? Su Mo'er, what a good boy! Can you really go?"

"Yeah!" Su Mo'er nodded, and continued:
"The housekeeper told me to go tomorrow. She wants to check my health. If I'm in good health, I'll stay!" Su Mo'er looked up at the neighbor's aunt and said.

"That's great! God bless!" The neighbor's aunt looked up to the sky and suddenly looked at Su Mo'er: "Son, why is your face so red?"

Su Mo'er touched her face, it was hot.She thought it must be because she was too excited, so she waved her hand to the aunt: "I'm a little hot from running, I'm going to find Abu! I'm going to tell Abu and Aha!"

After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she started to run, but her feet felt as if she had stepped on cotton, and she couldn't stand firmly.

"Child, run slowly!" The neighbor's aunt shouted at her swaying back.

"Got it!" After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she suddenly felt dizzy.She stopped, shook her head, and fell to the ground after taking two steps.She heard the exclamation of the neighbor's aunt, and then she didn't know anything.

……

"Abu, I'm going to look for you, why are you here?" Su Mo'er looked again, and saw that the elder brother, second elder brother, fourth elder brother and fifth elder brother were sleeping soundly beside them, snoring.

"Is it dark?" Su Mo'er touched her aching head and felt her throat hurt too.

"Son, just wake up, eat some cheese, and sleep well!" Dad said, and handed the cheese to Su Mo'er.

"Abu, I'm going to the chief's house tomorrow! As long as the housekeeper checks my health, I'll stay if I'm fine!" Su Mo'er looked at her father excitedly.

"If I enter the chief's house, I will have money." Su Mo'er looked at her father's sallow face, her nose was sore again.She said to Jida who had been sitting silently beside her, "Aha, are you not happy that I went to the chief's house?"

"I..." Just as Jida said a word, Sire, who was still soundly asleep just now, turned over and said angrily, "Dream, go to the chief's house!"

"I'm really going! Zana Abaga said it. I'll go tomorrow, housekeeper..." Su Moer anxiously wanted to argue.Si Re sneered and said, "You've had a fever for two days, it's already past time! Huh! Go! Go! Do you think you can enter the chief's house if you say so? I don't think you will die! Bad luck!"

"What? I...I..." Su Mo'er widened her eyes, looking at Hari Taogao and Jida.

"Si Re, shut up! Su Mo'er is sick, and you still say such things!" Jida stood up abruptly, and rushed to Si Re.Sire snorted again, picked up the quilt, and covered his head.

"Abu...Abu, can't I go to the chief's house? I've been sick for two days? Can I really not go?" Su Mo'er grabbed Haridaogao's arm, shaking and shouting non-stop.

"Son, recover from illness, and go after recovering from illness!" Hari Taogao comforted his daughter.

"Wow..." Su Mo'er was taken aback for a moment, then burst into tears.The crying woke up the other brothers.They all sat up and stared blankly at Su Mo'er, who was crying with her mouth wide open.

There were no other sounds, just the snoring of Dad and brothers.

Su Mo'er tiptoed out of the yurt.She looked up at the starry sky, the blinking stars seemed to be telling Su Moer something.

"God! Bless Su Mo'er!"

"Erji! Give me strength!"

Su Mo'er closed her eyes, rubbed her palms together, and muttered.

After knowing that she had slept for two days due to illness and missed seeing the housekeeper, Su Mo'er cried for a long time until her voice became hoarse.Looking at the frustrated father and brothers, Su Mo'er stopped crying. She thought that her father and brothers still had to work at dawn, and she couldn't affect their sleep.So, she lay there and pretended to close her eyes.

But she couldn't sleep, she had to wait for dawn, and she was going to find Uncle Zana.Su Mo'er quietly got up after hearing her father and brothers snoring one after another.

After praying to the gods in the sky, Su Mo'er walked slowly towards the chief's house. She forgot that she was still sick, and even forgot that her head and throat were still aching. She kept complaining to herself why she was sick, Why do you have a fever.

Unknowingly, she came near the yurt of the chief's house, and the sky spit out fish belly white.After staring blankly at the yurts of the chief's house, she walked to the yurt where Zana and the others lived.The morning dew made the grass on the prairie wet. Su Moer squatted down and wiped the dew on the grass with both hands, and then wiped it on her face again and again. , sobered up her dizzy mind a lot.

Su Mo'er wiped off the dew on a piece of grass, and then sat down.

People came out of the yurt one after another. When they saw Su Mo'er, they were shocked at first, then looked at her inexplicably, discussed and left.

"Son, what are you doing here? Waiting for Zana?"

An uncle saw Su Mo'er in their yurt in Zana, recognized her, and walked over.

Su Mo'er nodded.

"Zana, Zana, someone is looking for it!" the uncle opened his throat and shouted into the yurt.

After a while, Zana came out. When he saw Su Mo'er, he first sighed, and then said displeasedly, "What are you doing here?"

Zana was very angry because it was agreed that Su Mo'er would come over at noon the next day, and then he would take her to see the housekeeper, but Su Mo'er did not come.Because of this incident, the nanny housekeeper reprimanded him severely, saying that Zana and Su Mo'er were both dishonest people.

"Abaga!" Su Mo'er knelt down in front of Zana when she saw him.

"Get up! It's useless for you to kneel, the housekeeper won't want you anymore!" Zana finished speaking, and turned her head to enter the yurt.

"Abaga, that day... I fell ill as soon as I went back that day, and I don't know anything. I..." Su Mo'er's head was dizzy again, and she put one hand on the ground to prevent herself from falling down. Down.

"It's not that I won't come, Abaga, it's not that I won't come!" Su Mo'er raised her face, looked at Zana's back, and murmured.

Zana turned around and saw Su Mo'er's pale face, and sighed with distress.

"Get up quickly, go back quickly, and come back when you have a chance in the future!"

"Abaga, please let me enter the chief's house! Please!" Su Moer prostrated herself on the ground after finishing speaking.

"It's impossible to go in! The housekeeper won't let you in again, go back!" Zana couldn't bear to see Su Moer like this, waved his hand, and hurried into the yurt.

Not long after entering, when he stuck his head out of the yurt to see if Su Moer had left, he found that she was still lying on the ground, motionless.

Zana's heart twitched, and she couldn't help walking out.He stepped forward to help Su Mo'er, but when he helped her wipe the dirt from her forehead, she was taken aback.

"Your head is hot, you have a fever!"

Su Mo'er didn't answer Zana, but grabbed his arm: "Abaga, help me! Help me!" After speaking, she became dizzy and fell down.

"Child! Child!" Zana shouted, picked up Su Mo'er, and carried her into the yurt.

"Abaga! Help...help me!" Su Mo'er half-closed her eyes and was still muttering.

"Son! Abaga will help you, Abaga will definitely help you! But you have to recover from your illness first! Abaga will help you when you recover!" Zana's eyes became hot, and he said with his arms around Su Mo'er .

……

Su Mo'er woke up again and found that she was sleeping in a yurt. The yurt not only smelled of sweat, but also had a strong milky fragrance.Su Mo'er sat up and heard someone talking outside.

"Help this child, she is so poor!" It was Zana's voice.

"Who is she to you? Begging me to help her so much!" It was a woman's voice, which Su Mo'er sounded familiar.

"She is not who I am, but when I see her, I think of my daughter, my poor..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these things, listen more!" The woman sounded impatient and interrupted Zana's words.

"Then I beg you to help her, don't you need a laundry person? Let her go! You have seen her before, she has such skillful hands, and..."

"Handy, but can you wash clothes? Washing clothes requires strength, does she have strength?"

"She can do it, she can do it! She is thin because she has nothing to eat, and she will grow taller and stronger soon after entering here! She can do it, she can do it!" Zana kept begging .

Su Mo'er stood up all of a sudden.She rushed out of the yurt and saw the woman talking to Zana.The woman Su Mo'er met before, the fat woman who made things difficult for her when she signed up.

"Aji's mother (aunt)!" Su Mo'er knelt down in front of her.

"I can do the laundry, I have the strength to do the laundry, I do all the laundry of Abu and Aha!"

"You're awake! I thought you were going to die!" the fat woman said with sideways eyes, curling her plump lips.

"Please! Let me go, no matter what I do." Su Mo'er buried her head deeply on the ground, begging.

"Help this child! Help her!" Zana said, took out something from his bosom, and stuffed it into the fat woman's hand.The fat woman looked at the things in her hand, then at Su Moer who was lying on the ground, and said slowly: "Okay! Then let her come over in four days. But to be clear, if you can't do the work, don't Blame me for driving her away!"

"Bayarila! Bayara!" Su Mo'er kept kowtowing and talking.When she raised her head again, the fat woman had already dragged her fat body away.

"Child, get up quickly! Come and drink some herbs and then go back!" Zana said, pulling Su Mo'er up.

"Abaga! Bayara!" Su Mo'er knelt down to Zana again, but was stopped by Zana.

Su Mo'er and Zana entered the yurt, and Zana brought her a bowl of herbs.

"Drink it quickly, it will be fine!"

"Bayarila!" Su Mo'er picked up the bowl, and tears flowed down into the bowl.She gulped down the herbs and tears into her mouth and swallowed them into her stomach.

"Go back after drinking and take good care of yourself. Come back in four days. You must come. Fortunately, Toya in the laundry room is getting married this time, and there is a vacancy."

"Abaga! Bayara!"

After Su Mo'er finished speaking, she kowtowed to Zana again.
