Married Daughters Return to Parents' Home

On the second day of the New Year the married daughters, together with their husbands and children, will go back to their parents' house for the reunion dinners, to show their respect and deep affection. Bringing along with them are the presents of waxed ducks, sausage meat, chickens, ducks, fruit, confectionary and the most important thing is the Hongbao or red packets containing present money. After lunch or dinner the married daughters will return home with presents given by the parents. In the olden time when it was a great distance to walk to the parents' place the married daughters might stay for a few days there.
