Chapter 196 He Yuliang shook his head
On a clear morning, He Yuliang walked out of his courtyard as usual to greet the new day. His steps were light and powerful, as if he could leap into the clouds at any time. Today was a special day because Ran's mother sent the He family a delicacy from Beijing - Chinese sausage.
He Yuliang smelled a strong fragrance and couldn't help but raise his mouth. He walked quickly into the kitchen and saw Ran's mother standing there, cutting the sausage into thin slices. Her technique was skillful and gentle, and every cut was just right, as if she was carving a work of art.
"Good morning, Mother Ran." He Yuliang greeted with a smile.
Mother Ran turned around and smiled kindly, "Good morning, Master Liang. It seems that we need to add one more delicious dish to today's breakfast."
He Yuliang walked forward and took the sausage from Ran's mother, "Thank you, Ran's mother. This sausage smells so good."
"This is something I brought back from Beijing recently. I heard it's a local specialty. I hope your family will like it." Ran's mother said, her eyes full of care and expectation.
He Yuliang nodded, put the sausage on the table, then took out a clean kitchen knife and began to prepare for today's breakfast. While cutting vegetables, he chatted with Ran's mother about family matters, and burst into hearty laughter from time to time.
"Master Liang, I heard that you have been thinking about new dishes recently?" Mother Ran couldn't help asking as she saw He Yuliang's focused look.
He Yuliang nodded, "Yes, I have been thinking about how to promote our Tan family cuisine so that more people can taste our delicious food."
Mother Ran smiled and said, "Master Liang, you are such an ambitious young man. I believe you can do it."
He Yuliang was deeply moved after hearing this. He knew that the support of his family was his greatest motivation and the source of his continuous efforts.
Breakfast was ready. He Yuliang and Ran's mother placed the sumptuous meal on the table, and the aroma filled the air. Other family members in the courtyard also came to the kitchen, muttering, "The aroma is so tempting."
Everyone sat together, the dining scene was lively and warm. Everyone tasted the sausages sent by Ran's mother with gratitude, and exclaimed from time to time. He Yuliang kept picking up dishes and serving rice, and talked cordially with the family members.
"Master Liang, this sausage tastes really good!" a family member praised repeatedly.
The He family was in a particularly good mood, all because of their calculations. Yu Li was He Yuliang's cousin, another only daughter of the He family, and also the daughter that the He family was most proud of. They hoped that Yu Li and He Yuliang could become a couple, because this would not only unite the strength of the two families, but also consolidate their position within the family.
Yu Li is beautiful, gentle and considerate, and is loved by her family and friends. He Yuliang is the pride of the family, smart and far-sighted. If the two can get married, it will undoubtedly be a great joy for the He family.
In the He family's courtyard, the He couple were discussing this matter in the living room. They were beaming with joy as they discussed how to quickly ruin the relationship between Yu Li and He Yuliang.
"Honey, I think we should arrange for them to meet as soon as possible so that they have more opportunities to interact with each other." He's wife suggested excitedly.
He Fu nodded, "Yes, I also think it's time. You see, Li'er and Master Liang will definitely be a perfect couple."
"Yes, they are both the pride of the family. They are truly a match made in heaven." There was a gleam of anticipation in He's wife's eyes.
At the same time, He Yuliang was immersed in an ancient book in his room. Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door.
"Master Liang, may I come in?" a servant asked cautiously.
He Yuliang raised his head and smiled, "Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and a maid in plain clothes came in, holding a cup of tea in her hand. She gently placed the cup on the table, and then said, "Master Liang, Madam and Master invite you to the living room."
He Yuliang was slightly stunned, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
He followed the maid to the living room and saw the He family and their husbands waiting there, with joyful smiles on their faces, as if they had something important to announce.
"Master Liang, you're here." He's wife smiled and waved to He Yuliang to sit down.
He Yuliang smiled slightly and sat opposite them, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Father He smiled mysteriously, "Hey, guess why we asked you to come here?"
He Yuliang frowned slightly, trying to guess the He family couple's purpose. Then he suddenly realized and smiled, "Is it about Yu Li?"
A hint of surprise flashed across He's wife's eyes, but she immediately regained her composure, "Well, you are really smart. We were just planning to discuss something with you."
He Yuliang smiled slightly, knowing the intentions of the He family, but he did not show it. "Please go ahead, I'm listening."
Mr. He mustered up his courage and said, "We think you and Li'er are a perfect match, so we want to get you two together as soon as possible."
He Yuliang was speechless after hearing this. He knew what the He family was planning, but he didn't want to be forced into marriage, and he didn't want this to hurt his relationship with Yu Li.
"Madam, father, I am not sure about my feelings for Li. I need time to think about it." He Yuliang said in a deep voice.
He's wife frowned, obviously not expecting He Yuliang to respond like this. "Master Liang, don't you think you two are the most suitable couple? Not only are you cousins, but you also grew up together, so you should have a deep relationship."
He Yuliang shook his head, "Madam, I know your good intentions, but marriage is a lifelong event, and I don't want to make a hasty decision because of family reasons."
Seeing He Yuliang's firm attitude, He's father couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, "Okay, since you need time to think about it, we won't force you. But I hope you can think about it seriously and don't let Li'er down."
The He family couple did not intend to give up, especially He's mother, who was full of expectations for the relationship between Li and He Yuliang and thought it was a good thing for the He family. So she decided to take some actions to make the two closer.
On a sunny afternoon, He's mother found He Yuliang and told him a plan mysteriously: "Liang'er, I think you and Li'er are a perfect match. I plan to let you follow her and see what she usually does. This way, your relationship will be stronger."
He Yuliang frowned. He was a little hesitant about his mother's suggestion. "Mom, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? Following Li'er, isn't this too much of a voyeurism?"
