In fact, behind this sentence, it reflects the idea that rural people prefer boys to girls in the past. As we all know, people used to say that married daughters are like spilled water. Even those who are married far away can't go home several times a year. It is against this background that my aunt, as a relative of her father's side, comes and goes, and generations are very close. However, the mother's relatives may not be familiar for generations.
With the changes of the times, people's thoughts have changed greatly, and the way of getting along has also changed. As I said just now, the marriage of the ex-girlfriend is equivalent to the man's family, and it is not closely related to the mother's family, because the younger generation is closer to the cousin. But now, even married daughters in rural areas often visit their parents' homes, so there is no such thing as spilled water.
All the old people, including the young people in the countryside, agree with this old saying too much. Because in today's society, the younger generation is usually closely related to their relatives. The more contacts between relatives, the better the relationship will naturally become. There are also some relatives who are not close by blood, because living close is also close. The more children move around, the closer the relationship is, so there is no "three represents brothers"; Cousins, cousins ".
