I just lay down to prepare for lunch break, but the ringtone of my cell phone rang out of time. When I saw that it was the phone number at home, my daughter was crying sadly on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong, Qianqian?" I asked, "Mom, the midterm exam results are out.

Just as I lay down to prepare for lunch break, the phone ringtone rang out of time. When I saw that it was the phone number at home, my daughter was crying sadly on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong, Qianqian?" I asked, "Mom, the midterm exam results are out. I got 76 points in Chinese and 68 points in math." My daughter said and cried again. "Oh, then carefully analyze the reasons for the poor exam. Just find a way to remedy it. Don't cry, crying will not solve any problems." I comforted the child and felt very uncomfortable.

In September 2008, Qianqian transferred from Wangcang Experimental Primary School to Guangshi Primary School. Due to the earthquake, the school has been teaching in tents since the start of school. I have considered changing to a new environment and a new teacher and classmates before, which may have some impact on the child's academic performance, but I didn't expect the impact to be so great. What to do? The place where I work is more than 60 kilometers away from home. It is impossible to go back to school every day, but I cannot ignore my child's grades. I felt mixed feelings and had no intention of continuing to work. Fortunately, I was already the head of the outlet, so I still had to be more flexible and free in time and action. I put my bag on and locked the office door and got on the car back to Guangyuan .

I was a little confused along the way, and I was a little doubtful if it was correct to buy a house in Guangyuan and send my children to school in the city. Taking a deep breath, I calmed down my mood and knew that I had to face the fact that my child's grades were declining. How to remedy or overtake was the primary issue that my child and I should think about and solve at the moment.

I first came to the school and found Qianqian’s class teacher. During the communication process, I learned some basic situations of her in school. First, she was not proactive in answering questions in class; second, she liked to talk to her classmates in class and made small moves; third, the quality of homework completion was poor.

When I came out of the teacher's office, it was time to get off school. I didn't plan to alarm Qianqian. I wanted to secretly follow her and see her behavior and performance after school, who had done a lot of exams, and whether she had the determination to fight back. Seeing Qianqian lined up to leave the school gate, I followed from afar. She and her three classmates were talking and laughing and playing. They stopped on the side of the road to kick and kick shuttlecock , and sent the three classmates home respectively. Then they slowly walked towards their own home, completely forgot about the decline in the test scores. At a corner of the square, she turned around unconsciously and saw me behind her. She knew that I was following her along the way. She was so scared that she called her mother timidly. I think no matter how angry I am, I can’t deal with her in public. Let’s talk about it when I go home!

When I got home, my mother had already placed the food on the table , "Wash your hands and eat first." I told Qianqian that she knew she was doomed today. She lowered her head and washed her hands and ate without saying a word. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was low!

After dinner, my parents went to Binhe Road to make a turn, and Qianqian and I returned to her room.

"Mom, I was wrong. I did too badly this exam," Qianqian said crying.

"Your fault is not that you have a bad exam this time. Your biggest problem is that you have done a lot of exams and don't know how to bottom out and fight back. You still have the intention to wander around after school. You don't have the stale intention to strive for success and catch up. Do you plan to keep going like this?" I asked sternly.

"No, mom, I want to study hard, I won't give up, I don't want to be a student," Qianqian said crying.

"Okay, come over with the clothes hanger. I beat you today not because you were poor in the exam, but because you didn't know the reason after you failed the exam, but because you let yourself go, and beat her five times." I announced the punishment to Qianqian.

I admit that I slapped her ass hard. Every time I hit her, there was a purple-red mark on her butt. Qianqian cried and screamed. My heart also hurt and tears couldn't stop it from flowing.

Hold Qianqian in her arms, wipe her tears, and calm down her mood. How to remedy and how to overtake, Qianqian and I must think carefully and formulate relevant plans and measures tonight.After communicating with Qianqian, we jointly formulated goals and plans: First, in addition to completing the homework assigned by the teacher, we spent about half an hour to preview the courses for the next day; second, brushing a test paper in the teaching aids; third, getting up at 6:30 every day and memorizing Chinese texts or English words; fourth, I go back to Guangyuan every other day during work. In this way, I am at home five nights a week. When she is studying, I will quietly read books or embroider cross-stitch next to me. I can supervise what she doesn’t understand in time. Although it is hard, I feel at ease with her!

This semester is finally over, and I feel very up and down, and I don’t know if my method is correct or whether it has any results. Hearing the sound of the key opening, I knew that my baby girl had returned from receiving the notice, "Mom, I scored 100 points in math, 95 points in Chinese, and the second place in the class," Qianqian said to me while changing his shoes, and his face was full of pride and happiness. Hugging the child, I know how hard-earned the grades are!

Now my daughter has graduated from college and studied abroad for graduate school. The mark on my baby girl’s butt back then has long disappeared, but everything she has developed must have the good habit of having goals and plans, but it can benefit her for life. I think it is still worth it!
