New Year's Eve, a son-in-law half a child
The eleventh day of the first lunar month is "Son-in-law's Day". However, to be ignored by modern people as a festival. Reminds me of a common saying: a son-in-law is half a child.
According to legend, Qianlong micro-service private visit, found a pair of couplets, the upper link is: the family has ten thousand gold is not rich, the lower link is: the knee under the five sons and no children. Horizontal batch: The widow is here. At that time, Qianlong was angry and confused! Ask the old woman, it turns out that there are ten girls in the family, one girl is a thousand gold, and ten girls is ten thousand gold. One son-in-law is half a child, and ten sons-in-law is equivalent to five sons. Qianlong called it interesting after hearing it. This couplet had a great influence and passed down, adding a few flavors to the saying.
In life, my uncle is such a son-in-law. There are no men in the aunt's family, which in the past in the countryside, parents could not lift their heads. The parents of the aunt and mother-in-law are because they have three and a half children, and the old man is like spring in the evening, raising the elderly, so that the neighbors are all envious.
To the uncle's generation, he raised five girls, and these five sons-in-law raced one by one, and Howe said without exaggeration: a son-in-law tops one child. In life, the old two eat and drink Lasa, buy and do, and don't worry about it at all. When encountering major events, scramble to show their abilities. Buy a house, the son-in-law pays money; the father-in-law is hospitalized, the son-in-law accompanies the bed; the family party, several sons-in-law take charge of the spoon, help the kitchen, buy... The neighbors in the community joked: Why did this good son-in-law run away from your house?
In fact, the relationship between the son-in-law and the in-laws is so harmonious, it is mutual. My uncle and father-in-law are filial to their parents-in-law and their son-in-law, and they can be described as a veritable family of fatherly kindness and filial piety.
Yes! Parents-in-law and son-in-law do not seek a relationship, only because they married your girl, along with the daughter-in-law called parents. It is easy for the son-in-law to shout out to his parents, but it is not easy to really be half a child. In particular, this phrase is very important in the face of many one-child families.
