It is customary in Xuzhou to send red eggs a few days after you have a baby.

Send red eggs to relatives and friends everywhere to "bring good news" within 7 days. Boys will be given even numbers, and girls will be given even numbers.

The first person to go to "announce the good news" is the maternal family. Grandma's mood for looking forward to her grandson is no worse than grandma's. She has already given him "birth-stimulating sugar and eggs". Although it is impossible to determine the time of birth, I can still calculate in my heart that I am almost inseparable. Just waiting for the "good news" to arrive, my mother's family will prepare to send "porridge and rice".

Sending porridge and rice is a big deal for the mother's family. Aunts, aunts, relatives and neighbors who come and go always send some rice noodles, eggs, brown sugar, new clothes and other items. On the appointed day, my mother's brother brought the porridge and rice.

Accompanying people, due to different local customs, some are going to their mother-in-law, some are going to their natal sister-in-law, some are going with a child, some are not, etc., but male guests and female guests All have to go.

When the mother's family goes to send porridge and rice, the husband's family prepares a banquet and invites all the relatives and neighbors who are sending wedding gifts; everyone raises glasses and congratulates the host. This is called "eating happy noodles". To "eat happy noodles", you need to drink brown sugar tea to make steamed buns. Brown sugar represents happiness, and steamed buns are homophonic to "sanzi", which means having more children will bring you more wealth. They also eat "longevity noodles", which is to put noodles and two eggs inside. After drinking and eating, each guest will bring ten "happy eggs".
