20 Whoever Marries Her Is Really Lucky

"Do you think it's normal for a petite woman like her to be able to lift that heavy iron pot without changing her expression? Why don't you let Jing'er try to lift that iron pot? See if she can lift it up or not."

Thinking about his elder brother's question, Xiao Han hesitated and said, "Maybe she was born stronger than an ordinary woman."

Xiao Shao looked at his younger brother for a second, before he shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you even believe what you just said? No matter how strong a woman was when she was born, it is impossible to have that kind of strength without learning martial arts."

Listening to his elder brother's words, Xiao Han fell silent. After a moment of silence, Xiao Shao said, "Forget it. I have already sent the hidden guards to investigate her. After a few days, I will naturally know who she is."

As soon as his words fell, Xu Xiang approached them again with a basket in her hand. She sat beside Xiao Han, put down the basket and started cooking. Pouring water into the iron pot, she put the iron pot on the fire, and sprinkled a little salt into the water.

When the water was boiling, she opened the lid of the basket and took out a pack of medicine and a new medicine pot. She handed the medicine to Xiao Han and said, "I bought this medicine in Bei Qiang City yesterday. Boil two bowls of water into one bowl and let your elder brother drink it. It can nourish his body and help his internal injuries recover faster."

After finishing speaking, she saw that the water had boiled, so she didn't even look at Xiao Shao, and continued to cook. Xiao Han held the medicine for a long time in his hand, before turning his head to look at his elder brother. Sitting around the bonfire, Xiao Shao naturally heard what Xu Xiang said just now.

He calmly cupped his fists at Xu Xiang and said, "Thank you, Miss Xu."

Xu Xiang glanced at him, and replied politely: "Everything I do is to repay Aunt Wen and Er Lang for saving my life. Young Master Xiao doesn't need to thank me."

After speaking, she turned her attention back to the iron pot and continued to crack the eggs into the pot. Xiao Han glanced at his elder brother's calm face and touched his chin in thought. Xiao Shao glanced at his younger brother and saw that he looked thoughtful, but he didn't say anything.

While Xiao Han prepared the medicine for Xiao Shao, Xu Xiang prepared their dinner. When the meal was almost finished, Xiao Shao saw his parents and younger sister coming back.

He looked at their worried faces, and waited for them to sit down around the bonfire before asking, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Yi looked around before speaking in a low voice, "There is no ration tonight."

"Why?" Xiao Han asked in surprise, but no one answered him.

Although there was food given by Xu Xiang, they still went to get rations just in case. Hearing that there was no ration tonight, Xiao Shao glanced at the noodles and eggs boiled in the iron with a frown on his handsome face.

After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Xu Xiang and said, "Miss Xu, from tomorrow onwards, you better not cook."

"I understand." She calmly answered him while dividing noodles and eggs into bowls.

Seeing the officers whispering this morning, she already guessed that something must have happened. But after listening to Xiao Yi's words, she became more sure. Handing a bowl of noodles and egg to Xiao Yi, he said, "Uncle Xiao, it's just a simple dish, but I hope you like it."

"Thank you, Miss Xu." Xiao Yi thanked her and took the bowl of egg noodles with a polite smile on his face.

She filled another bowl and handed it to Wen Wan. "Aunt Wen, I gave you a bigger egg. You need to nourish your body."

"You are too kind." Wen Wan took the bowl with a bright smile on her beautiful face.

"Miss Xiao, please eat more." Xu Xiang also gave Xiao Jing a bowl of noodles with a slight smile on her face.

"Thank you." Xiao Jing quickly took the bowl from her and began to eat gracefully.

She looked at Xiao Han and said, "I will give you the biggest bowl."

"Thank you, Elder Sister Xu." Xiao Han said with a smile on his face

Xiao Han didn't stand on ceremony with her, and held the bowl while she filled it up. Xu Xiang looked into the iron pot, and saw that there were still a lot of noodles and two poached eggs. Glancing at Xiao Shao's tall and slender body, she thinks for a while before filling a big bowl of egg noodles for him. Without saying a word, she handed him the big bowl filled to the brim. After that, she filled her own bowl and started to eat silently.

Xiao Shao looked at her, then he looked at the big bowl of noodles in his hand. He then looked at other people's bowls, and noticed that she gave him the most noodles and the biggest egg. Suddenly, he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

'Is she giving me the biggest bowl because I'm still injured? What about the medicine then? Is there still someone in this world who treats others kindly without ulterior motives?'

While Xiao Shao is still thinking deeply, his hand instinctively sped up its movements after taking the first bite. In just two minutes, he finished a large bowl of noodles without leaving even a drop of soup. Wiping the corners of his lips gracefully, he couldn't help but have another thought.

'She is such a good cook. A simple egg noodles, she can cook it so deliciously. Whoever marries her is really lucky.'
