> Take My Brother Away Recap
At dawn, Shi Fen receives a call from his mother informing him that his grandfather has passed away. He and his sister, Shi Miao, take leave from school to travel to their old hometown for the funeral. On the way, the saddened Shi Miao reminisces about their kind grandparents, and the two siblings bicker as usual. Meanwhile, Wan Sui is distraught because a game he uses to communicate is down.
His brother, Wan Xing, comforts him, saying to have hope that they will be contacted. Shi Fen and Shi Miao fall asleep on the bus and miss their stop, Wangjia Village. With no return bus until evening, they must walk. After getting lost, Shi Fen gets the idea to follow the direction of floating paper money. They finally find the village after Shi Miao recognizes a lightning-struck tree near her grandparents’ house.
At the funeral, they hesitate to enter, afraid to see their grandfather's body. They recall happy memories and tearfully realize that since everyone eventually dies, they should cherish this last chance to say goodbye. Just as they decide to go in, their mother appears and welcomes them. Inside, their uncle scolds them for being late. They are happy to see their grandmother, but she is confused.
She claims they are not biological siblings, saying Shi Miao is the adopted illegitimate daughter of a widow and a carpenter, and asks when they will marry. To humor her, Shi Miao plays along. The grandmother gives them pastries she says their grandfather made. They eat them tearfully, only for their uncle to yell at them for eating the funeral offerings. Their mother explains that their grandmother has Alzheimer's.
Furious about their tardiness and their actions, the uncle throws them out. Shi Miao is upset she was kicked out without even seeing her grandfather. Shi Fen comforts her, suggesting it is for the best, as their grandfather passed away happy, and their grandmother is now spared the pain of his loss due to her illness. Elsewhere, Wan Sui speaks with his mother via video call, demanding that his brother be allowed to return.
His mother forces him to choose between his brother’s return and staying at his ordinary high school. Wan Sui refuses to choose, wanting his family back together in person, and angrily throws down the tablet. Later at school, his classmate Cheng Haonan alerts him to a message written in the sky by an airplane: "Wan Sui, I am fine." The plane continues to write more messages, leaving Wan Sui overjoyed. When Wan Sui and Wan Xing return home, they are surprised to find their mother waiting for them in person.
