When a woman gives birth at home, her parents must give her food for the next month, that is, all the materials used to cook ginger noodle soup, such as rice noodles, dried shrimps, dried jumping fish, eggs, mushrooms, day lilies, bean curd skin and so on.

In-laws, on the other hand, have to start preparing ginger slices when their daughter-in-law is pregnant for three or four months.
