The two had little time to spend together and even fewer opportunities to meet, as Xiao Ruiyuan was occupied with official duties that prevented him from accompanying Mo Yan for long.
Although Mo Yan felt a tinge of regret, she wasn't truly a teenaged girl who needed her beloved to be constantly by her side. Thus, they went to Huixian Residence, ordered a few dishes, and after having lunch together, they parted ways—one headed to the Government Office for work, and the other to the rice shop to find help.
After a year of operations, thanks to the high quality and variety of the grain, Mo Family Fragrant Rice Shop had made a name for itself within Jing City. It had almost wooed half of the upper middle class families in the city, with daily sales of grain reaching over three thousand catties. As such, delivery of grain from Liu Yang Village to the shop was necessary every other day.
