The newlywed wife got married for three days.

On the third day after the bride gets married, my brother will come to visit and take my sister back, which is called "taking three days" in the customs of Dangshan and Huaibei.

Why do you have to pick someone up on the third day?

On the first day, you couldn't do it. Going back to my parents' home after going to church is called "broken marriage", which is more shameful than divorcing my wife. The next day is another day. "Come back every two days" is always considered unlucky. Only the third day is suitable.

When my sister's brother arrived, he first met his sister's in-laws, said some kind words such as "strict family discipline" and "please forgive me if I can't", and then took my sister home. We can't stop this trip, because we have to send people back in the afternoon, and eating will delay time. After the new daughter-in-law returned to her mother's house, she was much more casual. She laughed loudly and walked freely, saying that three days would be formal and her husband and in-laws should relax.

Three days later, there are still six days, "66 Dashun". In the same way, the husband's family treats each other with tea, regardless of the meal, and the family will send it back before sunset.

It will take eighteen days in the end. As for the origin of eighteen days, there are several versions. Some people say: three days off, six days off, and eighteen days off after three or six. This is a smooth plan. Others said: The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has changed, and every day is counted as one day. Since it was changed at her parents' house, she should go back to her parents' house. Looking up the almanac, I learned: "Tianjiu, Dijiu, 29 18, festive day, auspicious day." Coupled with the harmony of nine and long, eternal, long-term, long-lasting. Reading is really good. It seems that the significance of this next 18 day is greater than the previous two days. In fact, it has the most content.

First of all, my husband's family should treat them well this time, because they have been together for more than half a month, and the young couple are affectionate and harmonious, and their parents-in-law are also satisfied. People from parents' families should be treated as family members. Because I didn't send it back that day, my mother's brother could drink to his heart's content. Secondly, the new daughter-in-law can stay in her family for a few more days, visit relatives, string friends and relax. Furthermore, you can decide the date of going back to your in-laws' house, but there is a premise that you must complete the "task", that is, you should bring several pairs of shoes (father-in-law's, husband's, brother-in-law's, etc.) when you go back. ), as well as the broom and lid of the millet seedling string, you must make it yourself. Sometimes you can't do it or you can't do it, you have to ask your sister or mother for help. Anyway, you can't go back empty-handed and let your husband's neighbors laugh at your new wife's incompetence.

18 days later, it was actually a small farewell after the wedding and a warm sublimation. In rural areas, most people do not have the concept of "honeymoon". 18 days later, the "new wife" stage is over.
