1. Receive longevity
There is a custom of wishing longevity during the Rain Water Festival, which means wishing the father-in-law and mother-in-law a long life. Usually "canned meat" is given as a birthday gift to the parents-in-law. It is made by stewing pig's feet, snow mountain soybeans and kelp in a casserole, then sealing the mouth of the jar with red paper and red rope, and giving it to the father-in-law and mother-in-law. This is a way for a husband to express his gratitude and respect to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If it is a newly married son-in-law who sends the gift, his father-in-law and mother-in-law should give him an umbrella in return, so that he can be sheltered from the wind and rain when he goes out, which means wishing him a smooth and safe journey in life.
