"Alright, it's decided. I have some other business to attend to, I'll hang up now!"
With that, the only sound left on Dr. Mao's phone was.
"Beep... beep... beep..."
"Sigh, it's not easy being a subordinate these days. Alright, I'd better hurry and see how things are going over there."
Dr. Mao sighed as he put down the phone.
...
"What are you here for again? Have all the villagers been checked? How are they doing? Are they all cured?"
Chen Ergou asked as he looked at the returning Dr. Mao.
"All the villagers have been checked, and as you said, they are very healthy. However, the village will still need a few more days before the quarantine is lifted. I think you should stay in the village peacefully for the next few days. As long as the quarantine is not lifted, you can't leave either."
Dr. Mao advised Chen Ergou.
"The villagers are fine, so why won't you lift the quarantine? What on earth are you trying to do?"
Chen Ergou asked, somewhat annoyed.
