很久以前，在一个偏远的小山村里，住着一对善良的夫妇。他们勤劳朴实，靠着辛勤的双手养活自己。有一天，村里来了一个算命先生，夫妇俩便去请他算一卦。算命先生掐指一算，笑着说："恭喜你们，你们家将有大吉大利的事情发生！"夫妇俩听了，心里乐开了花。果然，没过多久，他们家就喜事连连，先是有个好收成，紧接着儿子又考中了举人，后来又娶了个贤惠的妻子。日子过得越来越红火，这真是应了算命先生的那句话——大吉大利！
Long ago, in a remote mountain village, lived a kind couple. They were diligent and simple, supporting themselves with their hardworking hands. One day, a fortune teller came to the village, and the couple went to ask him for a fortune. The fortune teller calculated with his fingers and said with a smile: "Congratulations, something great and auspicious will happen to your family!" The couple were overjoyed. Sure enough, not long after, there were many joyous events in their family: first a good harvest, then their son passed the imperial examination, and later he married a virtuous wife. Their lives became more and more prosperous, which truly fulfilled the fortune teller's words - great good fortune and prosperity!
