After a day of relaxation, in the evening, Hermione took the apple that Darren gave her, with an inexplicable expression, because she had never learned Chinese, she would never understand what the so-called Christmas Eve had to do with apples, because whether it was Silent Night or Christmas Eve, in terms of pronunciation and meaning, it was completely out of line with apple......

However, in the far East, at this time, unscrupulous merchants have begun to deceive the masses, and in order to prove the so-called "authenticity", there are also all kinds of remote words, tricks and renovations, endlessly, and there are even ghost jokes from World War II, "On Christmas Eve 1944, three wounded American soldiers walked into a wooden house in the Aden Forest in Germany and were warmly welcomed by their owners. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Several German soldiers also came to the wooden house, and the hostess said to the German soldiers who were confronting each other with guns: "Tonight is Christmas Eve, and if you live in harmony, I will give each of you an apple, because apples and peace are homonyms!" In order to commemorate this great mother, it has become a customary custom to give apples to each other on Christmas Eve......

I can't find a few other languages besides Chinese, right? Peace, French Pomme & paix, German Apfel & Frieden, do you dare to say Chinese instead of English, French and German when these people get together?!

But apart from the unscrupulous merchants who fooled people into buying apples and the countless "tragedies" caused by buying or not buying, forgetting to buy and buying inappropriately, and so on, the story itself is very likely to be true - at least with witnesses and oral histories.

In reality, the narrator of the story is Fritz Senken, who was 12 years old in 1944 and hid with his family in the Belgian-German border area of the Ardennes Forest.

By the way, the Ardennes Forest is often translated as "Ardine" Forest, which may be the source of the strange "Aden" in the rumors, of course, this bug has been fixed in later versions, and from this, it can also be roughly inferred that the origin of Harunyan is indeed ...... In a commercial society, in addition, those who spread it casually do not make adjustments to the target group, and should be given a bad review.

According to Fritz's account, in April 1944, after being destroyed by Allied bombing and destroying the original house and bakery, the family fled to a log cabin in the Ardennes Forest, where they experienced the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944 and met several American soldiers on Christmas Eve, one of whom was wounded, the Fritz family did not speak English, but one American soldier spoke French and was therefore able to communicate.

Shortly after the American soldiers entered, they heard a knock at the door - but Fritz's mother, Elisabeth, told everyone to put away their guns and asked the German soldiers to put away their weapons before they could enter, and the moment when they met was awkward, but neither did anything. After a while, the German medic began to help the American soldier with his wounds, and the situation eased and everyone had dinner.

However, as mentioned earlier, even without taking into account the Battle of the Bulge, which was in full swing at the time, World War II in 1944 was enough to make the European continent extremely scarce, not to mention that the time for apple picking was long past that time, that is, with the help of modern refrigeration technology, the fruit could appear in the deep winter to meet people's needs.

Therefore, Fritz did not eat apples at home that day, it was quite a luxury, according to his recollection, the dinner was mainly potatoes, but at that time, the enemy of virtue and virtue did not attack each other, itself should be the best Christmas gift, for everyone at that time, otherwise, shooting at each other at a very close range, the casualty rate was quite high, especially at that time both armies were generally equipped with automatic weapons such as submachine guns, I am afraid that in less than a minute, most of them, or even everyone, could return to heaven。

And 50 years later, with the help of a television show, Fritz met Ralph Blank, an American soldier who was present at the time, proving the truth of the event, because Ralph lived in Maryland, USA, and had been telling the same story to relatives and friends for years.

Of course, I'm afraid this is not the origin of Yaoyan, because considering the long-term nature of this story, it is too far away from the appearance time of the joke, but someone made a movie about it later, probably, this movie is the origin of the joke, well, Elizabeth in the film is played by Linda Hamilton starring, that is, Sarah Connor, who once killed the female Han paper of the T-800...... It's hard to say if those soldiers were intimidated by her!

In fact, Darren gave Hermione apples just a little early, and in a few years, with the continuous spread of Chinese culture, the apples on Christmas Eve also entered the UK.

After counting their gifts, Darren met with Harry, Ron and Hermione in the common room and went downstairs to breakfast together.

Even Hermione didn't go to the library today, and spent almost the whole morning in the Gryffindor Tower, admiring the gifts she had received with her classmates, and Fred and George used the magic player to play a new movie, which was well received.

At noon, they returned to the auditorium and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch of at least a hundred turkeys and a whole bunch of Christmas pudding, as well as a mountain of Cribeech wizard crackers.

In the afternoon, they came to the field outside, the snow was clean, almost no one had stepped on it, only a deep footprint made by Durmstrang and Beauxbatons when they returned to the castle, it seemed that the students of Hogwarts were also home, Hermione was only willing to watch a few boys play snowball fights with each other, she refused to participate, and at five o'clock, she said that she would go back upstairs to prepare for the ball.

"What, you need three hours?" Ron asked, looking at her in disbelief, he was hit hard by a large snowball thrown by George, but Hermione just waved her hand and stepped up the stone steps into the castle, at which point Darren was also hit on the head by Fred's snowball.

It is said that there was no Christmas tea in the auditorium because of the banquet at the ball, and Darren did not care, but the younger students complained that many of them did not receive invitations from the older students and chose to stay in school for Christmas......
