In our hometown, neighbors also have the custom of sewing new quilts. About a week before a girl gets married, her mother will get the materials ready and then ask her neighbors to help sew a new quilt. Most of these neighbors are ingenious middle-aged women, and the girl's mother will ask them to help sew new quilts together, fold them according to the color and give them to the man with a dowry on the wedding day.
First, the custom of sewing new quilts has changed now.
Nowadays, the custom of asking busy neighbors to help sew new quilts before marriage occurs in many places. It's changed now. Many places are girls' mothers. On the day when the quilt is ready to sew a new quilt in advance, ask the neighbors to come over and help, fold the quilt into a dowry, put red dates and peanuts on it, and then invite the neighbors to eat some sugar and chat for a while, even if they sew a new quilt. This change represents the progress of society, because many quilts are customized or machined now, and there is no need to sew by hand at all.
Second, the girl marries her neighbor and sends her to have sex.
In my hometown, there is also the custom that girls get married and neighbors send jiaozi. On the third day after marriage, they will return to their parents' home. At this time, their neighbors will wrap up jiaozi and send it to them. Mostly six bowls of jiaozi and a bottle of wine. Every time jiaozi is delivered, girls and new son-in-law should try it. Some girls have many neighbors and good relationships, and they can make it all afternoon.
Third, customs vary greatly from place to place.
Women have different customs and habits when they get married in different places. In some places, when a girl gets married, her mother will bring her a peach branch, in some places, a green onion, and in many places, a whole noodle will be brought to her on her wedding day. The first thing she did when she arrived at her husband's house was to cook and eat noodles. These are customs and habits left over from hundreds of years, and they all have beautiful meanings. No matter what customs and habits, they all hope that girls will be happy and have a happy life after marriage.
