What is the custom of going back to your mother's house on the second day of the second year?
Usually on the morning of the second day, before the in-laws leave, especially before the new daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law should wrap a red bag and put something sweet in it, such as dessert, to show her satisfaction with her daughter-in-law. Daughters who go back to their parents' homes should also bring candy and noodles. Candy means wishing a sweet and beautiful life, and noodles mean health and longevity.

In addition, the daughter who goes back to her parents' home must bring some gifts, commonly known as "accompanying fruit", and distribute them to her children to "pay a New Year call" to the younger generation. On this day, the bride's family will often stand at the door and greet her daughter's son-in-law and her family with a smile. Children will also give their grandchildren some lucky money.

After seeing my parents at home, I kowtow to my parents-in-law and other old people to pay New Year greetings. Although the old people also humbly said "forget it, forget it" at this time, they were quite willing to accept this kowtow gift. Then, the son-in-law under the leadership of his father-in-law or uncle, goes to his own home or a nearby close relative's home to pay a New Year call to his elders. My daughter pays New Year greetings to people who usually have good relations with their neighbors.
