Chapter 269: Confession 2
readx;?ā He was not the only one who was in the army with him at that time, he also had an older brother who also joined the army, but the military was different, and his credit was not as prominent as his! When he retired, his family was very sad, because if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have retired! For this reason, they decided to protect his brother with all their might, doing everything possible to hide his identity, they knew that there were too many rivals in the family.

"You mean, you and him...... Are you brothers? Zhao Fengmei looked at her husband in surprise, she was a little incoherent, this news was too shocking. This is simply impossible to happen, if it were told by another person, she would definitely think that this person is crazy, but this is what her husband said himself, and it is in this place!
"I'm sorry to hide it from you for so long! This is also a last resort. Liang Bo'an paused, and then added, "My files have all been revised, and few people know the truth. ā
Zhao Fengmei was completely stunned, she never thought that her husband was not an orphan, but had an extremely prominent background, and had been with her for more than ten years, and the lover she thought she knew a lot was just a shadow, and she had hidden it for so long. It seems that the original very simple thing can be so widely implicated, is this still the husband who loves each other and has lived together for more than ten years, is it the father of his son, and his scheming is so deep?
"I'm sorry, Fengmei! Now I let you know that my original name is Li Bokang, I am ranked sixteenth in my family, * my younger brother, and I joined the army at Peking University. Liang Boan explained to his wife apologetically, "The situation at home is quite special, I can't tell you, and I know that I shouldn't hide it from you, but the family doesn't allow it!" You know, for more than ten years, I have never been home, and when we got married, only the seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law were present; A few years ago, my grandmother passed away, and I couldn't come back to see him for the last time, and I even rushed back from the United States...... For so many years, I haven't seen my father and mother, I ......" Liang Bo'an gradually choked up, tears overflowing his eyes.
"I don't blame you, you also have a last resort, I can understand it." Zhao Fengmei was originally a little angry, but when she saw her husband, who had never shed tears, burst into tears, her heart became nervous. For more than ten years, her husband has been so strong, and he has never even hesitated, which shows how much strength he is bearing; For more than a decade, he has been far away from his parents, his siblings, and the invisible pressure of his own family...... He can't go back to his home, he can't recognize his relatives, he bears all the pressure alone, these could have been borne with him, but she also understands the rules of the big family, if it weren't for the situation of the Li family that has improved, he can't contact his family now! Perhaps, the Li family is under heavier pressure, with one son forced to retire and the other incognito......
"I know you can understand, you're always so considerate. They love you too. Let's pay homage to our grandparents first. Liang Boan said gratefully to his wife. To tell the truth, as the only daughter of the general, Zhao Fengmei has some shortcomings, which are inherent in the so-called celebrity family, and it is not easy to live in harmony with an "orphan" of herself; On the other hand, he has always been very sorry for his wife, and he feels a little wrong, and there is inevitably some flattering element in his speech.
Liang Bo'an didn't stay in the countryside for a long time, didn't go to visit those relatives in his hometown, and didn't even let his aunts know. The graves of the grandparents are very ordinary, far less than the Li family's current illustrious status, including some of the ancestors' graves, which are nothing more than a few small mounds of earth, accompanied by a few cypress trees, surrounded by bricks and stones; Several white marble stone pillars are engraved with the names of the deceased and their birth dates, which are very simple, without the slightest element of boasting, and it seems that there is no intention to "live forever" at all. It is said that this is the result of Li Mengze's insistence despite the opposition of many relatives and friends, his father and mother are ordinary farmers, they were not prominent during their lifetimes, and there was no Ruixiang after their deaths, there is no need to be too beautiful, the old people actually like the ordinary life the most, as a son, he knows them best. At the same time, in his understanding, the Li family is not a wealthy family, just a combination of some ordinary people, perhaps, it won't be long before these tombs will disappear without a trace, along with their descendants who are about to die.
The two of them rested for the night in a hotel in the town, and that night, both of them were silent, thinking about their own thoughts, and the next morning, just after dawn, they returned to the city and boarded the bus north to the city of Fairies.
Zhao Fengmei's mood gradually became nervous, she never realized that her husband would have such a complicated life experience, never thought that she would become a member of that controversial family, for more than ten years, everyone has never been in touch, and now what will they think of themselves? She is a soldier and a woman, but she doesn't know much about the Li family, and only occasionally sees some related reports, which are too far away from their lives, they are completely different types of people! Speaking from the heart, she is not disgusted in her heart, although this family is strong, but they have not done anything out of the ordinary, they have always been very low-key, they have never heard of coercion, they have not heard of interfering in the political life of the country; On the contrary, this family gives people a tragic feeling, being excluded and suppressed by many parties, and the so-called rebellion has not brought much bloodshed and won the sympathy of society! Therefore, strictly speaking, she has a good impression of this family, people worship the strong, disgust the bully, and sympathize with some tragic and strong people, over the years, the Li family is still living under the pressure of opponents, and is still suppressed by the military, although the military has to increase purchases again and again. Because of her special status, she knows more about the fierce battles within the military, especially the constant pressure on the Air Force by the Army and the Navy, and often uses the Li family as an excuse for fighting.
Zhao Fengmei didn't know what she really thought of this family, but she knew that she was already a member of the largest family in China, and the Li family was too powerful, which made the Zhao family seem very insignificant in comparison, and she originally thought that the Zhao family could survive for a long time, but now it is impossible, and it is inevitable that the so-called military family will integrate into the Li family! Because, when her husband's life history is revealed one day, people will only remember that he is an important member of the Li family, who will care about their Zhao family? Perhaps, this is also the sorrow of the Zhao family, the so-called prosperity and decline, who let them meet the Li family?
Zhao Fengmei's mood was bumpy, and Liang Boan's mood was also very complicated. For more than ten years, he has been outside the family, the Li family has struggled to move forward in the wind and frost, rain and snow, and the relatives are under all kinds of pressure, contributing their talents to the long-term prosperity of the family, and he himself not only did not contribute, but was taken care of thoughtfully. He knows very well that he was able to be promoted quickly, partly because of his own ability and past military exploits, and more importantly, the game within the military's top leaders, especially being taken care of by his family, and now being able to return home, especially to be able to bring his wife home, is even more rare. If it weren't for the improvement of the family's situation, if it weren't for the fact that the family's power in the military had been built, he might have to hide it for a longer time.
Although he is already a famous general, but in the case that there are as many generals as ants, how many lieutenant generals and * cannot make decisions on decision-making issues, and they are helpless in front of powerful people, not to mention that he, the last major general, even if he adds his father-in-law, a small lieutenant general, what use does it matter! As a general, he is well aware of the struggle within the military, and he knows that this power struggle is mixed with their family factors, and because of his special status, he is very aware of the changing trend of this power struggle. Among the high-ranking generals, the current winning party deliberately suppressed them, and did not deliberately win over other military dignitaries, let alone deliberately provoke relations between powerful figures, so the influence of the Li family was seriously insufficient; However, among some middle- and lower-ranking officers, including a considerable number of middle-ranking generals, they are very influential, especially those under the age of 50, and most of these people are bloody and dissatisfied with the practice of some powerful figures who deliberately suppress the Li clan in disregard of reality and put the cart before the horse in disregard of the fundamental interests of the military. Some of these young senior officers came from the strong side of the Air Force, others from other branches of the military that had been quickly promoted for the sake of some kind of balance; Originally, non-Air Force officers were quite dissatisfied with some figures in the Air Force, and correspondingly expressed disgust at the families they supported, but the Li family stood firm under the pressure, which made them feel some comfort and even some expectation! On the one hand, because of their outstanding military achievements in the Southeast Asian War, they should be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and on the other hand, they also benefited from the military strength of the entire Air Force. It's just that because of this, they feel embarrassed, on the one hand, they have to be consistent with their "protectors", and on the other hand, they have to maintain a relatively good relationship with some people in the Li family; Of course, they are enthusiastic about safeguarding the vested interests of the Air Force, but because of this, they continue to suppress the Li family, and a considerable number of officers are reluctant, especially many people have extraordinary feelings for Li *! It was in this context that there were some subtle changes in the influence of the Li family in the military, and in this regard, Liang Boan and his senior colleagues understood more deeply, and more importantly, they were pleased with the family's approach, because the attitude of basically not interfering in official decision-making was very good for him, an active-duty soldier.
