Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. In the custom of the second day of the Chinese New Year, the daughter who marries out should take the new son-in-law back to her mother's house to pay respects to the New Year, and today is the "legal day" for the new aunt to pay homage to her parents-in-law.
Today, the daughter-in-law and son-in-law who returned to their mother's house carried gifts, and after meeting their father-in-law at their mother-in-law's house, they first kowtowed to their father-in-law and mother-in-law and other old people; although at this time the old people also humbly said", "Forget it, forget it", they were still very happy to accept this prostration gift, and then sent red envelopes to the children of the mother-in-law's family, and ate lunch at the mother's house.
As the saying goes, "an aunt is half a child". On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the aunt went to visit the old man and the mother-in-law with valuable gifts, which was the opportunity for "half a child" to see the "mother-in-law", and this time the new aunt came to the door, no less than the new daughter-in-law getting married. This time back to her mother's house, the son-in-law's position is much higher than that of her daughter, and he is the chief guest of her mother's family.
Since it is a new son-in-law, the new son-in-law must of course sit on the table, accompanied by the same generation or junior, and the elders generally cannot be present. Because the elders are present, they cannot unscrupulously "tease the son-in-law" during the banquet.
At the banquet, the new son-in-law is often teased by the "brothers-in-law and sister-in-law", who smear a pot of ash on the face of the new son-in-law, open a big flower face, wear a torn hat, bring a donkey splint, and bring a cow rope head, making the "new son-in-law" embarrassed and full of foreign appearances.
When teasing a new son-in-law, the new son-in-law is often teased and laughed, falling flowers and running away, and some new sons-in-law can't stand it, and often take the opportunity of fleeing from the wilderness and slipping away------
The intention of this move is twofold, one is to show that the "mother's family" has the right to "punish" the son-in-law at any time, implying that the "new son-in-law" should treat my family's girls kindly; the other is to use the "new son-in-law" to enter the door to play a game to break through the strangeness, close the distance between each other, and increase the fun of the New Year. Therefore, the new son-in-law is especially to put down the shelf on this day, but obey the order, and behave well-behaved, obedient, and obedient.
But there is also a special point for the girlfriend to return to her mother's home, that is, she can only eat lunch at her mother's house, and she must rush back to her in-laws' house before dinner.
After the first Spring Festival after the newlyweds get married, and then return to their mother's home after the Spring Festival, there are not so many rules and exquisiteness.
