Origin Story
从前，有个名叫阿牛的年轻人，他家境贫寒，靠帮人干农活为生。一天，他干完活儿，拿着微薄的工钱，兴高采烈地往家走。走到半路，他突然想起今天是集日，集市上人声鼎沸，热闹非凡。阿牛想到集市上买些生活用品，于是改变了回家的路线，大摇大摆地向集市走去。他一边走一边哼着小曲，感觉自己像个阔少爷一样，神气十足。来到集市，阿牛看到琳琅满目的商品，心里乐开了花，他挑挑拣拣，买了些自己需要的物品。付完款后，他大摇大摆地离开了集市，心里美滋滋的。回家的路上，阿牛脚步轻快，仿佛脚下生风。他想着用赚来的钱买些好吃的犒劳自己，脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容。当他回到家时，家人看到他大摇大摆的样子，都忍不住笑了起来。阿牛虽然家境贫寒，但他对生活充满了希望，他的乐观和自信感染着周围的人。
Once upon a time, there was a young man named An Niu, who came from a poor family and made his living by working in the fields. One day, after finishing his work, he happily went home with his meager wages. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that today was market day, and the market was bustling with people. An Niu decided to buy some household goods at the market, so he changed his route and swaggered towards the market. He walked and hummed happily, feeling like a rich young master.
