Episode 13 recap: Chen Weiqing and Chen Li Xia recognized each other.
Chen Li Xia has been feeling low recently, as Jin Huirong has been coming over only after her rehearsals. Chen Li Xia mentioned that she will turn eighteen after finishing this play. Jin Huirong has been consoling Chen Li Xia, emphasizing the significance of the Lugou Bridge Incident. Jin Huirong said that her parents and Chen Li Xia are the only ones in her heart since childhood, and they can be together after the performance. Chen Li Xia was deeply moved and hugged Jin Huirong tightly because Jin Huirong said that Chen Li Xia is the most important person to her.
Boss Xu decided not to invest anymore because there haven't been any business opportunities so far. Chen Shan He expressed confidence and mentioned that once they make money, he will marry He Yufang. This surprised Boss Xu, but he could understand the situation. Chen Shan He also found the editor-in-chief and persuaded him to publish their medicine support for the frontlines in the newspaper.
After returning home, Chen Shan He told He Yufang that they would open a larger pharmacy in a bigger place once they make money. He Yufang was concerned if the lack of money would affect them, but Chen Shan He believed that their medicine would eventually sell well.
The next day, many people came to buy medicine at their doorstep. However, Boss Xu wasn't happy because these were all publicity stunts intentionally created by Chen Shan He, and the medicine wasn't actually sent to the frontlines. Chen Shan He, knowing that Boss Xu was upset, invited him for a meal to apologize. Boss Xu was willing to go, but he was angry that Chen Shan He didn't consult with him beforehand. Chen Shan He offered to go on Boss Xu's behalf, but he didn't have the same skill as Boss Xu.
Chen Shan He explained that he wanted Boss Xu to stay away from the limelight because he didn't know Kuang Qingkui's intentions and didn't want Boss Xu to get involved. Boss Xu also cared about Chen Shan He and felt that he rushed into marrying He Yufang, so he advised him to think it through.
Jin Huirong was stopped by Liao Liusi just as she received her theater ticket. Liao Liusi saw the so-called ticket, which actually had Communist Party propaganda on it. However, Jin Huirong claimed that it also had Chairman Jiang's words on it. She clarified that she wasn't supporting either the Communist Party or the Nationalist Party but was making a decision as a conscientious Chinese citizen. Liao Liusi had nothing to say and left.
Chen Weiqing had been thinking about creating innovative dishes but had no ideas. However, Tan Yaoheng sparked his inspiration by suggesting a connection between cuisine and theater. Suddenly, Chen Weiqing had a breakthrough. Chen Shan He asked He Yufang to donate the remaining money to the frontlines, as he was planning something big.
He Yufang has always loved theater, and coincidentally, Chen Li Xia was performing a play related to the murder of her parents. Therefore, Chen Shan He was also interested and planned to go watch it.
Chen Li Xia planned to incorporate Communist Party-related songs into the opera. However, there was not enough time for rehearsals, so they would have to improvise on the spot.
As many patriotic individuals were preparing to go to the frontlines to fight, their families gathered at the dock to bid them farewell. Before Boss Xu left, Chen Shan He gave him all the donated money. Boss Xu advised Chen Shan He not to rush into finding his younger siblings and even brought out a missing persons notice. However, Chen Shan He revealed that he hadn't published any missing persons notice. Suddenly, Chen Shan He realized that Kuang Qing Kui didn't kill him to let him find his younger siblings but to kill them all together.
With no other options, Chen Shan He had to come up with a different plan. After bidding farewell to Boss Xu, Chen Shan He was unaware that he was being watched. As Chen Li Xia was about to perform, Chen Shan He and He Yu Fang also arrived. On the other side, Chen Wei Qing also came since they all remembered that the day of the play was the anniversary of their parents' murder.
Chen Shan He bought the best seats but discovered that someone was watching him. Chen Li Xia and Jin Hui Rong were ready for their performance. They started by singing the "March of the Volunteers" and then the official performance began.
Chen Li Xia's master got angry and ran out when he saw her doing this. Jin Hui Rong's master comforted her, but she still left the stage. Chen Shan He and Chen Wei Qing saw Chen Li Xia's performance and felt like they were seeing their mother's shadow. The memories of that time were still vivid, and the three siblings used to watch their parents perform like this.
This play held great significance for them, and Chen Wei Qing also found inspiration. He cried while recording his thoughts. After Chen Li Xia finished her performance, she looked at the riddles her brothers used to guess for her when they were young. She expressed her gratitude to everyone and mentioned receiving a riddle from an audience member, which was actually created by Chen Wei Qing. He wanted to confirm if she was truly his sister. Chen Li Xia guessed the riddle correctly, and Chen Wei Qing rushed onto the stage. Chen Shan He also recognized his younger siblings and wanted to join them on stage, but due to being constantly monitored, he had to suppress his emotions.
