The moral of two boxes of sugar is sweetness in pairs. The moral of two cigarettes is prosperity, because don't you want to light your cigarette when you smoke? When it was lit, it was booming. Two bottles of wine mean hope for a long time.
Take me for example. I remember the first time I went to my mother-in-law's house. According to the custom here in Chongqing, I bought two boxes of that kind of candy as gifts, one of which was more than 200 yuan, and the two boxes of candy were 400 yuan. Two fireworks are the most expensive, and I spent both cigarettes 1000. Of course, there are cheap cigarettes, but I don't think they can be sold, which is harmful to my face. On the one hand, it shows that I don't respect her enough, so these gifts are better and more expensive.
Two bottles of wine are also more than 2000, because of the custom here in Chongqing, boys should send sugar, cigarettes and wine to their mother-in-law's house, which is a custom.
? Of course, in addition to sending sugar, cigarettes and wine, the man usually depends on whether there are other purposes to visit his mother-in-law's house. If he wants to propose, he needs to send bride price money and so on. This is another matter. If he doesn't want to propose, it's just the first time, and he doesn't need to send bride price money. He can bring sugar, cigarettes and wine, and he can also buy some fruits, such as pitaya.
Moreover, there are some customs in Chongqing, that is, a son-in-law can't add his own rice when he goes to his mother-in-law's house. That is to say, after eating the first bowl of rice, he can't take a bowl to scoop it up. This must be his mother-in-law's house or your wife who helped you fill the meal.

Fourth, the taboos that need attention
1, say something
Be careful what you say in front of your mother-in-law Don't say death, parting, parting or other unlucky words. Be sure to praise your mother-in-law for being young and beautiful. If my father-in-law doesn't have hair on his head, don't say things like Mediterranean and hairless that are suspected of irony. If her mother-in-law has freckles, she can't say suggestive sarcasm such as pockmarked and sesame seeds in front of her mother-in-law. Reading is very important.
