How about going out to play on the second day of the Lunar New Year?
All right.
You can go out on the second day of the first month. According to the custom, you can't go out on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and there are no special taboos at other times. If the elderly at home are worried, they can discuss it and let them not worry.
Generally speaking, the second day of the Lunar New Year is also suitable for married daughters to return to their parents' homes. If their parents live far away, they will be considered to have run away from home. When a daughter returns to her mother's house, it is forbidden to return home with a single gift. Because odd numbers are traditionally considered unlucky, the gifts that the son-in-law brings back to her family must be in pairs, which can be a good sign of good luck.
