The husband's family sets off firecrackers on a good day, and then invites the good luck man and the good luck woman (usually a middle-aged couple with a son) to open the bed and set up accounts. It is night, and the groom is not allowed to sleep on the new bed. In the early morning of the next day, the groom's hair was combed by Hao Ling Gong and Hao Ling Po. No matter how much the dowry is, the daughter's parents must prepare a pair of small fire cages filled with charcoal and covered with red paper to wish their daughter-in-law a prosperous life after their marriage.

At this time, the groom leads the bride out of the gate. The bride's brother is unmarried, and the bride's father holds a red umbrella for the groom to shade him from the sun. When the float returns to the groom's house, the groom's family sends a woman who has given birth to a son to take the red umbrella amidst the sound of firecrackers, open it to cover the groom, and walk towards the new house.
