See your daughter at the Dragon Boat Festival in May.

There is a custom in my hometown: Dragon Boat Festival in May and visiting my daughter on August 15th. What do you mean? It's a married girl at home. In these two festivals, it is her family who visits her family. Of course, you can't be a guest empty-handed. In general, the Dragon Boat Festival begins in summer. When you visit your daughter's house, you will usually bring a mat and a fan to cool off the heat, make dumplings, and the family will seriously visit relatives. We are not "married girls splashing water" here. Usually, in the first year of a girl's marriage, the queue to see the girl is huge. Not only their parents and sisters, but also their aunts, grandmothers, uncles and aunts. All the family members have gone out. The more people go to their parents' home, the more attention is paid to their daughters in their parents' homes. Why? My understanding is that the family is powerful and has many members, so the husband's family can't treat their daughter badly. Traditionally, generations of daughters have seen it this way. On this day, all the parents came and the new wife was very proud. The young couple came up with the highest reception standard to entertain their distinguished guests. This is the wedding.

I still remember that twenty years ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival in the first year of our marriage, several cars came to our house. My father has eight brothers and sisters, and my mother has five brothers and sisters, plus grandparents. The scene is ... yeah, I only remember that there is no place to sit in my small house. The family went to the room in batches and went to the booked hotel. Seeing that our young couple are doing well, everyone is relieved and satisfied. Everyone is joking, as our house is so neat, who dares to bully our daughter! In fact, this is no longer the old yellow calendar of the feudal society where kannika nimtragol was bullied. In our family, the parents are enlightened, the in-laws are open, and the young couple's nuclear family lives a sweet life. My parents didn't buy a mat or a fan on the Dragon Boat Festival, but bought two Hisense air conditioners! At that time, air conditioning was a luxury, and two sets were installed at once, which shows how much our parents love and care for us!

Later, when I had a son, I lived in my mother's house for a long time. Every time we arrive at the Dragon Boat Festival, my parents also ask us to go back to our hometown in advance, and then they come to see me with presents in a serious way. This sense of ceremony has been strictly observed. I don't know from which year, my parents and I discussed not to see girls during the Dragon Boat Festival, so my parents invited us to have a big meal and get together. From then on, we changed the big event of meeting girls into a family dinner, of course, dad paid the bill.
