Rough locust is the name for an insect in our hometown. I looked it up and found that it is called Chinese sword-horned locust. Just like we call the male grasshopper "Guaizi" and the female grasshopper "sheyouzi", it's just a title.

Rough locust is the name of an insect in our hometown. I checked it and it is called Chinese sword-horned locust .

Just like we call the male grasshopper "Guaizi" and the female grasshopper "female oil son", it's just a title.

But I clearly feel the frivolity towards them from this title. For example, from a nursery rhyme I would say when I was a child:

is called a good boy

a mother-in-law

A couple fights and plays with monkeys

A rough bastard

Come to start a fight

You're a little bit dead

It's true, you two Grasshoppers are fighting, and the Sword-horned Locust even tried to break up the fight with good intentions, and was scolded. He is not even qualified to start a fight, he is so humble.

But for me, I treasure many beautiful memories about them.

At that time, my mother would always come back from working in the production team, and there would always be one or two rough minions sandwiched beside the cloak she wore.

This insect has a dark green color, a slender body, and two long legs.

We will pinch its two calves, and it will shake like a kowtow. At this time, we will happily say, look, kowtow.

When I have had enough fun, I will put them in the stove fire and burn them until they become golden.

This is really an unforgettable delicacy. In those difficult days, they silently nourished our bodies.

Now that I think about it, I am very grateful.
