betrothal gifts/presents (from the bridegroom's to the bride's family)
This is called spreading enlightenment in the countryside. Before talking about marriage, it is generally necessary to preach and enlighten, that is, to send some bride price money, or to leave some computers, televisions, cars and other physical objects on the woman.

Add box
A woman is carrying a box. The box was opened on the first day of marriage. Relatives and friends will come to add boxes or fill them. I used to send cloth or jewelry, but now I add money. There are usually a pair of chopsticks, a small bag of rice bran and two green onions in the box, which means that there will be a smart and healthy son soon. In my opinion, putting green onions is to make you smart and forgive others when couples quarrel occasionally. The box can only be locked in front of the sedan chair. It is said that when it was locked that day, only the husband could open the door. On the first day of marriage, men usually find a sister-in-law to make the bed, and put sesame stalks and wormwood under the bed to show that they love hoary heads and live a rich life.
