Chu Ju's House is a novel written by Gloria Whelan. This time I was a Vocabulary Enricher. Here are some words that I was unfamiliar with:

1. Auspicious (page 5 paragraph 1)- Indicating a good chance of success- favorable

2. Barges (page 6 paragraph 2)- a long flat bottom boat for carrying freight on canals and rivers

3. Kowtowed (page 8 paragraph 3)- to kneel down and touch the ground with forehead- Chinese Culture

4. Paddies (page 91 paragraph 2)- a field where rice is grown

5. Kernel (page 117 paragraph 2)- Wheat

6. Haggling (page 117 paragraph 3)- to bargain persistently, especially over price

7. Grove (page 130 paragraph 4)- a small wooden or other group of trees
