满载而归 is a four-character idiom (成语) that literally means 'to return with a full load'. It's used to describe a trip, activity, or effort that ends with great results — you come back with a lot of gains, whether it's fish you caught, knowledge you learned, or profits you earned. The 'load' is metaphorical. You can use it for shopping, studying, traveling, or any endeavor where the outcome is richly rewarding.
