How many New Year's customs are there? Married daughters can't go back to their parents' home at will?

Although the second day of the new year was the day to return to my parents' home, but since the second day of the nine-day consecutive holiday was already the fifth day of the holiday, I decided to take the high-speed train all the way back to Kaohsiung the day after the New Year's Eve dinner at my husband's house on New Year's Eve. , However, before the epidemic, it was expected to buy a free seat. As the epidemic heats up, it was not until a week before the year before that I decided to keep an eye on the high-speed rail booking website every day to book the right seat. After all, it is relatively safe to sit together by myself, just so that children can It costs an extra half-price ticket for the high-speed rail to sit comfortably, but I believe it's worth it.

In the end, I managed to book a consecutive seat, but I accidentally deleted it. Fortunately, I was lucky to book a consecutive seat. Little do we know that we, who thought we were favored by the god of luck, actually took the high-speed train on the first day of the first day (yesterday). We went out of Oolong that day. We set off from home an hour before the high-speed train departed. There were almost no cars along the way, and the road conditions were very smooth. Finally, we arrived at the high-speed rail station 40 minutes before the departure time. My husband hurried to find a parking space and let me go first A person dragged a large suitcase, a cart, two bags of luggage and a child at the high-speed rail station to collect the tickets and waited. Seeing that the time passed by one minute by one, and ten minutes before the departure time, the husband was not seen. The result of the phone inquiries was that I had not found a parking space, so I decided to go to the high-speed rail station counter to refund a ticket. Just as I was about to enter the high-speed rail gate with a large bag and a small bag, my husband called and said that he had already run to the high-speed rail station! But I have already refunded the ticket ah ah ah ah! I had to tell him: "I've already refunded the ticket, you can buy a free seat again!"

Fortunately, in the end, I took the child to the high-speed rail, but what about my husband? Did you get on the same train? The child was actually curious and asked me. I told her that if my father didn’t get on this bus, he would take the next bus to Kaohsiung. We don’t have to worry. After a few seconds, we immediately received a message from my husband: “I’m in the free seat. car."

Unexpectedly, my husband bought a ticket at the last minute to get on the same train! ! ! It's incredible! ! !

But what's even more incredible is that the next-door neighbor who refunded the ticket a few minutes before the departure actually got another passenger at Hsinchu Station. Later, I heard that my husband said that there are many vacancies in the free seat, so I came across several carriages with a large bag and a small bag. When I went to the Liberty Seat to find my husband, the family reunited on the high-speed train. The process was really twists and turns, and it also made me feel the power of being a mother. I never thought that one person could carry so much luggage and add The last child was running around, and after sitting down, he really felt sore and exhausted.

Returning to the warm home in Kaohsiung, my mother was very happy to see her long-lost granddaughter. She also prepared lunch for us in the morning, and cooked my favorite kidneys in the evening, swept away the fatigue of the past two days and really went home. So good!

After I was full, I drank a cup of coffee made by my mother. It was strong and fragrant. It was delicious!

In today's era, in fact, fewer and fewer people will actually follow the custom of returning to their parents' home on the second day of junior high. Every time they go home early, they will be reminded by their mother-in-law to ask their parents whether they care first. At first, I didn't know why I cared, but I found out that there are quite a few customs about returning to my parents' home in the second year of junior high school.

This article lists the customs of daughter-in-law returning to her parents' home during Chinese New Year:

1. Married daughters who return to their parents' home on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year will bring their luck away.

2. On the New Year's Eve and the first day of the first day of the new year, the married daughter's return to her parents' home represents "the in-law's family is too poor to feed the daughter-in-law and abuses the daughter-in-law".

3. When a married daughter returns to her mother's house in the second year of junior high school, she cannot have dinner at her mother's house, otherwise her mother's family will be overwhelmed and impoverished.

4. When the married daughter returns to her parents' home on the second day of the first year of junior high school, she must remember to bring a souvenir. Because a married woman is just a splash of water to her parents' family, an outsider, and she has to bring a souvenir to the other's house as a guest.

5. If you can't go back to your mother's house on the second day of the new year, you have to wait until the second day of the second lunar month to go back, otherwise you will share the blessings of your mother's family.

6. Divorced women have no husband's family, and naturally have no reason to spend the New Year at their husband's family, but because they have been married and left their parents' family, they are not allowed to return to their parents' family during the Spring Festival.

But in fact, if a married woman wants to go back to her parents' home before the second day of junior high, she can still do two things to break the taboo of "bringing down and going bankrupt":

7. If you want to go back to your mother's house before the second day of the new year, you have to bring a bucket of oil into the house, which means "don't care too much about oil and oil".

8. If you go back to your mother's family before the second day of junior high, you can bring a red envelope to your mother's family, to break the saying of "eat the poor mother's family", which means "bring wealth to the mother's family".

I told my mother about the above customs, and my mother immediately said, "If you use those ancient standards, no daughter-in-law would pass the test, right?!" I couldn't help laughing when I heard it. Daughter-in-law really has too many unreasonable demands. Women are not regarded as independent individuals, and they have no freedom to move freely, and even have an image that is considered to be detrimental. In fact, it is very unfair to women. Fortunately, modern women are gradually able to understand each other and break these bad habits.
