Origin Story

很久以前，在一个富饶的村庄里，每家每户都辛勤劳作。一年秋天，丰收的季节到了，村民们喜笑颜开地收割着金灿灿的稻谷。谷仓里堆满了饱满的稻谷，田野里还留着等待收割的稻穗。家家户户的谷仓都堆得满满当当，有的甚至溢出了谷仓，堆在了院子里，堆在了路边。孩子们在金黄色的谷堆里玩耍，大人们忙着将稻谷运回家中。整个村庄都沉浸在丰收的喜悦中。一年到头辛苦劳作的汗水换来了丰厚的回报，村民们脸上洋溢着幸福的笑容。而那些空置的田地和沟壑里，也因着这丰收的喜悦，显出一种别样的活力。这个村庄，从田间地头到房前屋后，到处都充满了丰收的喜悦，到处都是金灿灿的稻谷，用一个词语来形容，那就是——满坑满谷。

The granaries were filled with plump rice, and the fields still had rice ears waiting to be harvested.
