While viewing old photographs, Nobita feels deep sorrow over his late grandmother, who used to dote on him. Reluctantly, Doraemon transports them back eight years. Upon arrival, Nobita encounters his mother, who fails to recognize him as her three-year-old son, leading to distress. The narrative explores his longing for her affection. This specific story was later remade in 1986 under the title "I Love Grandma." The events highlight Nobita's regret and the impact of his grandmother's care on his childhood memories.
