My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 234 - 80: Finishing the Postpartum Period3

Outside the window, birds flew down onto the big camphor tree that had been moved to the military hospital at so unknown ti. They hopped here and there, finally choosing a suitable branch to build their nest and settle down.
The breeze brushed past the leaves, past the birds’ thick feathers, and finally past the small twigs the birds had brought.
When the breeze arrived, it carried the chill of late winter; when it left, it carried the warmth of early spring.

Winter was about to end, and the long days of Du Xixi’s postpartum confinent slowly passed with the arrival of spring. As Yiyi and Er Er no longer slept as much as they did right after birth and instead moved about and looked around, Du Xixi was about to be discharged.
Chen Yin had returned to the Imperial Palace halfway through Du Xixi’s postpartum period, as his "birthing companion plan" had run out of ti. He could only occasionally watch his two nephews, who had yet to grow, through video calls.
helped with packing, and although Miao Miao had mostly recovered, she remained in her original form, yet she could move freely along the fine rods beside the crib, amusing the children. Ke Xing went to handle the discharge procedures, while Du Xixi was assisted by Ke Lian to bid farewell to Doctor Mo and the director.
Du Xixi could walk unobstructed now, feeling light after the delivery. Moreover, through this month of postpartum confinent, Du Xixi felt grateful once more for her Purification Talent.
Du Xixi had thought the Purification Talent was only useful for healing or self-recovery in cases of injury or daily life, but she hadn’t expected that it could also restore her figure!
After childbirth, unless it was an extrely rare case, most won would have so figure changes—either stretch marks on the stomach or stubborn excess weight that wouldn’t go away, appearing as unsightly, bunches of wrinkled flesh.
Du Xixi had been quite worried about her figure because she liked staying beautiful. But unexpectedly, during this month when she hardly moved, her figure gradually returned to its original shape, and even beca more toned, becoming fuller than before her pregnancy.
Several tis while looking in the mirror, Du Xixi was stunned by her reflection. Her original figure could only be described as shapely and gracefully lined, but now it was so perfect that if she looked a few more tis, she’d possibly lose control.
However, while Du Xixi herself found her perfect figure hard to resist, Ke Lian remained calm, coldly and indifferently pacing before Du Xixi as if her figure, good or bad, was all the sa to him.
Still, every piece of clothing Ke Lian had 2569 bring from ho was of an extrely loose size, nearly concealing Du Xixi’s figure altogether, with only a faint hint of the curves visible.
Knowing soone had once again overturned the vinegar jar, Du Xixi found it amusing, nonchalantly putting on those loose clothes and asking Ke Lian, "Does it look good?"
Ke Lian naturally nodded with satisfaction saying, "It looks good," which made Du Xixi pull on Ke Lian and laugh uncontrollably until he couldn’t help but lightly tap her head twice, drawing back her unrestrained smile.
Du Xixi was wearing an extrely loose cotton jacket, long and thick in style, revealing nothing of her body shape, perfectly matching Ke Lian’s thoughts.
They had already arrived at Doctor Mo’s office. Ke Lian knocked on the door, and upon hearing Doctor Mo’s cold "Co in" from inside, Du Xixi and Ke Lian walked in together.
Unexpectedly, aside from Doctor Mo, the director was also in the office.
Doctor Mo, not wearing gloves, was holding a pen and notebook, seemingly recording sothing. Seeing Du Xixi and Ke Lian, she wasn’t surprised, rely putting down her things and lightly smiling, saying, "Madam, you’re being discharged today, aren’t you? If I rember correctly."
Doctor Mo was Du Xixi’s attending physician, handling everything from prenatal check-ups to postnatal care herself, so naturally, she wouldn’t forget Du Xixi’s discharge date.
Doctor Mo’s words were rely ant to liven up the atmosphere, knowing full well her own serious nature tended to keep people at a distance.
She liked Du Xixi, also her two adorable, well-behaved sons, and wanted to avoid being seen by Du Xixi as overly strict and serious.
Though Doctor Mo indeed appeared as a strict and serious person in Du Xixi’s heart, Ke Lian was an even colder being, and Mo Ying’s husband, Ye Wenting, was also strict and aloof, which ant Doctor Mo’s deanor did not deter Du Xixi from approaching.
On the contrary, Du Xixi was a person who got along well with all types of personalities, so she wasn’t opposed to Doctor Mo’s slightly awkward words, instead responding with a smile, "Yes, I’m being discharged today, and Ke Lian and I are here to bid farewell."
Du Xixi didn’t focus solely on responding to Doctor Mo’s words, but also turned to the director, warmly saying, "It’s just as well the director is here with Doctor Mo, so we can bid farewell together."
Doctor Mo was diligent and responsible; the director was competent and kind. Both were doctors Du Xixi was deeply grateful to. Along with the considerate and courteous dical staff, Du Xixi kept all of them in her heart.
