The fashionable new daughter-in-law is called "going back to her mother's house" and has been called "mothering" three times in a row, so there are three kinds of sayings: "going back to her mother's house for the first time" (three days after marriage), "going back to her mother's house for the second time" (twelve days after marriage) and "going back to her mother's house for the third time" (full moon after marriage). The first time has three days, and there are also twelve days or a full moon. Generally, you can't spend the night at your parents' home when you return home. You must come back after lunch and before cooking. You can stay for a day or two when you come back. Three trips can be made for ten days and a half months, as long as you discuss with your husband's family. The first time is usually discussed in advance and brought back by the bride's brother. The third visit is usually made by the bride herself or accompanied by the groom. When the groom visits his parents-in-law for the first time, he should bring three gifts. The parents-in-law let the son-in-law "eat sweet eggs" and did not entertain. The son-in-law returns the same day after eating, leaving his wife at home, picking up the bride on the appointed day or being sent back by the bride's brother. However, most customs and habits have been simplified. After greeting the bride, the groom immediately went back with her, then went out for a ride, and then went back to the new town for the second time. After marriage, everything is as usual.

The custom of "eating sweet eggs" originated from a beautiful story: once upon a time, an old woman named Li had an adult woman who married through a matchmaker. After several years of childlessness, her mother-in-law realized that it was not a physiological problem for her daughter to be divorced from her husband and wife for a long time. In order to look forward to her grandson as soon as possible, she tried to invite her son-in-law to cook sweet eggs at home. Tell the son-in-law that the sweet egg is sweet and complete, the family can be sweet and complete, and the husband and wife can have children. Husband and wife respect each other from now on. The next year, he got a son, and the son-in-law happily went to Yue's home to report the good news. Since then, future generations have honored their new son-in-law by boiling sweet eggs, which has been passed down from generation to generation.
